A Network Failover Test verifies that redundant network links, devices or paths automatically take over when a primary connection fails, maintaining connectivity without unacceptable interruption. In data centers it validates resilient designs such as dual uplinks, redundant switches and diverse carrier routes, confirming that failover mechanisms and convergence times meet requirements.
