Specifies whether or not Ethernet failover is enabled for an Ethernet interface.

If this feature is enabled and the active Ethernet interface goes down, the CTP device switches to an alternate Ethernet interface.

Select one:

  • Yes—Ethernet failover is enabled.

  • No—Ethernet failover is not enabled.
