The implementation of subtending is described in thesesections:•“Star Management” on page 48•“Daisy Chain Management” on page52Each section provides both the features of and the limitations for implementing each subtending approach. You can also combine the star and daisy chain approaches to effectively implement subtending.

It is important to note that you cannot use the same card to subtend and be
subtended. For example, a DS1 card has eight ports; you cannot use one port
to subtend another port on the samecard.
