You can also interconnect any combination of two Switches from the
SuperStack
®
4900 Series or 3Com Switch 4050/4060 range to create an
XRN Distributed Fabric. This allows you to create a highly resilient core
around which you can build your network. For more information about
interconnecting Switches, see “Creating an XRN Distributed Fabric”
