1-4 CHAPTER 1: SWITCH 9000 OVERVIEW
Redundant paths are disabled when the main paths are operational.
Redundant paths are enabled if the main traffic paths fail.
For more information on STP, refer to Chapter 7.
IP Unicast Routing
The Switch 9000 can route IP traffic between the VLANs configured as
virtual router interfaces. Both dynamic and static IP routes are
maintained in the routing table. RIP version 1 and RIP version 2 are
supported.
For more information on IP unicast routing, refer to Chapter 8.
Network Configuration Example
This section describes where to position the Switch 9000 within your
network. One common use of the Switch 9000 is on a Gigabit Ethernet
backbone. Figure 1-1 shows an example of a Gigabit Ethernet
backbone within a building.
