Redundant Networks

Dante Domain Manager supports redundancy only within a subnet.

Redundant audio is not supported between devices in different subnets. Dante Domain Manager will filter subscriptions across subnets to disable redundancy on these subscriptions.

Dante Domain Manager assumes that connectivity of secondary subnets mirrors their primary subnets. The following are explicitly not supported for 'correct' redundant operation:

  • Devices in different primary subnets sharing a secondary subnet
  • Devices in the same primary subnet being in different secondary subnets
  • Secondary subnets using DHCP for address allocation (only link local is supported on secondary; all devices disable DHCP on the secondary interface)

In the example of a supported configuration illustrated below, there are two primary subnets (10.10.60.* and 10.10.70.* are used as example address ranges) which are served addresses by DHCP. DDM enables audio routing between these subnets.

The secondary interfaces for the devices in each primary subnet are connected to isolated subnets, using Link-local for address allocation. Audio routing is not supported between these subnets.
