Episode 22 — Network Cable Redundancy — High Availability Link Design
This episode explores how network cable redundancy supports uninterrupted connectivity in server environments. You’ll learn the principles of link redundancy, including using dual network interface cards connected to separate switches or running multiple fiber paths between data center locations. The discussion covers common redundancy topologies and their ability to prevent single points of failure in network infrastructure.
We also review real-world deployment practices such as configuring link aggregation protocols, verifying redundant links through failover testing, and aligning redundancy designs with service level agreements. Examples from exam-relevant scenarios highlight how to choose the correct redundancy strategy for given requirements, whether for mission-critical applications or less sensitive workloads. This knowledge prepares you to design, assess, and troubleshoot redundant network connections confidently.
