- Under normal operating conditions, traffic from the Vlan3410 flows through E2 between both Netonix devices.
Example: Ping from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.2

- Under conditions of connection failure in E2, traffic from the Vlan3410 flows through E3 between both Netonix devices.
Example: Ping from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.2
