The switching circuit for switches network traffic between a number of ports based on the port priority table, the trigger source and condition table, and port health status data. Switching network traffic includes: determining a priority path for a first port using the port health status data and the trigger source and condition table; determining a second port specified as a destination for network traffic arriving at the first port by the port priority table for the priority path; and routing incoming network traffic from the first port to the second port.
