Stage Type Radio Buttons

Any MKII Switch chassis can function as either of two Stage types. These are an Input-Output/Transfer chassis (IO/T) or a Cross-Connect chassis (CC). Refer to the fabric descriptions below for information about the two chassis types. Refer also to the MKII Switch Multi-Stage Installer’s/User’s manual. Make the appropriate selection in the Stage Type Radio buttons and press the Apply button to apply the new Stage Type to the chassis.

Single-Stage Fabrics

In a single-stage Switch fabric (only one chassis in the fabric) the only Chassis Type used is the IO/T chassis.

Two-Stage Fabrics

In a two-stage fabric, multiple chassis are meshed together forming a larger fabric. In a two-stage fabric, all chassis are IO/T chassis. Some ports are used as Input-Output fabric ports that connect to N and NL_Ports, and some ports are used as Transfer ports that interconnect the chassis.

Multi-Stage Fabrics

In a multi-stage Switch fabric there are two types of chassis, IO/T and CC. IO/T chassis provide input-output fabric ports that connect to N and NL_Ports and also Transfer ports that connect to CC chassis. CC chassis interconnect the IO/T chassis.
