Partitioning

Partitions allow MX Router sources and destinations to be segregated. Therefore, destination work
stations will only receive signals that are transmitted from source computers in the same partition. In
addition, it is impossible for a source computer to be inadvertently routed outside of its designated
partition as the signals will not be transmitted.

Example: MX48 Router with four distinct partitions:

Four partitions set up for secure routing and extension applications. Signals are only capable of

transmitting and receiving within a single partition and not across partitions

The maximum number of partitions is the number of ports that make up the MX48 Router. An MX48 can
be configured with up to 48 partitions. There are also overlapping partition configurations.

The following example shows an MX48 Router with an overlapping partition:
