Figure 1-24. GIGArrays Connected Using Circuit Saver Bridging
The GIGArrays are interconnected by one Circuit Saver LAN. If all 16 systems
were connected using GIGArrays, 120 virtual paths would be required to achieve
full-mesh connectivity:
[(16 * 15) / 2] GIGArray PVPs = 120
By separating the systems into four GIGArrays and using Circuit Saver mode to
interconnect the GIGArrays, only 24 virtual paths and 6 virtual circuits need to be
configured to achieve full-mesh connectivity:
{[(4 * 3) / 2] GIGArray PVPs * 4 GIGArrays} + [(4 * 3) / 2] Circuit Saver
PVCs = 30
