PRP
PRP stands for Parallel Redundancy Protocol and is defined in the standard IEC 62439-3 since 2010. PRP is
Layer-2 based and has been developed for computer networks which are in need of a reliable solution regard-
ing high availability and operational functionality. A LANTIME with two or more interfaces, running firmware
6.22.001 or higher, has the ability to act as a DAN ("Dual Attached Node" - a device which is connected to both
redundant networks).
As of LANTIME firmware version 7.0, PRP can also be conveniently set via the web interface menu "Network
→
Physical Network Configuration". Select the same PRP group for at least two interfaces in the drop-down
menu "Bonding".
IPv6 Mode
Activation or deactivation of the IPv6 protocol.
MAC Address
Media Access Control, shows the MAC address of the given physical interface.
Assigned Virtual Interfaces
Indicates which virtual interfaces are assigned to the given physical interface.
Port Power Status
This feature is available in IMS systems, where several physical interfaces can be available. The port power
status is an indicator if a particular physical interface is powered on or off.
