Introduction
Overview
Figure 2-2 shows a sample NV9000 network, one of several possible topologies:
Fig. 2-2: NV9000 Network of Routers
CQX Networks
Figure 2-3 shows the ways a “clean and quiet” router can be connected:
Fig. 2-3: CQX Network
At present, the CQX connections are limited. One CQX router with a local (or captive) CQX panel
or a remote CQX panel (or both) can exist on any subnet. (You can have more than one subnet,
however.)
At present there is little to configure other than the IP address of the router (and possibly the
remote panel module).
CR6400 Stand-Alone Networks
A CR6400 router can operate in stand-alone mode (also known as “default” mode) either as a
single router or in a small network.
Figure 2-4 compares a stand-alone CR6400 router with a captive panel to a stand-alone router
network with remote panel modules:
