Installation Scenarios and Cabling Examples for Fast Ethernet Connections

Two WAVE appliances with inline network adapters can also be installed back-to-back in a serial fashion between two network devices for failover purposes. In this serial cluster configuration, if one WAVE appliance fails, the other WAVE appliance can provide optimization. (See Figure 5-11.)

Note When you connect two WAVE inline appliances to each other serially, always use a crossover cable between the two WAVE appliances. (See Figure 5-12.)
