SSIM-H2-02 Fast Ethernet - Translational Switch SmartStack Interface Module Installation and User Guide Configuration
Figure 10 illustrates a network with two physically disjoint Ethernet clouds. Each
SmartStack STS16-20RM switch in the configuration has one primary connection
to one of the two Ethernet clouds and one secondary connection to the other cloud.
This way redundancy for both Ethernet clouds is provided, while at the same time
the traffic load between the Token Ring and Ethernet clouds is split between the
two switches.
