Installation
Multi-Ring Out Capability
Any port of the module may be configured as a ring-out port through
management software. In this configuration a stand-alone passive concentrator
(such as an IBM 8228) may be added to the ring as shown in Figure 2-5. This
allows for a star-wired network with the SmartSwitch 9000 at the center. Consult
the
SmartSwitch 9000 Local Management Guide for information on configuring the
ports.
