10. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method, comprising:
-
configuring a multi-chassis system configured to support a server and a switch module to run data streams for the server and over the switch module; detecting a data failure on at least one data link coupled to the switch module; determining a data stream rate on the data link; and configuring the data link to support a normal data stream and a monitored data stream on the data link. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A switch module data monitoring method, comprising:
-
configuring a multi-chassis system to run data streams over a switch module interconnecting the multi-chassis system; detecting a data failure on at least one data link coupled to the switch module; determining a data stream rate on the data link, the data stream rate being at least one of 3 Gbit/s and 6 Gbit/s; and configuring the data link to support a normal data stream and a monitored data stream on the data link configured at a rate of 6 Gbit/s, wherein the normal data stream and the monitored data stream are time multiplexed as a single data stream on the data link.
