Multistage Examples
Figures 5-3 through 5-5 are examples of Multistage topology using SANbox-16
Switch chassis.
Figure 5-3 SANbox-16 Multistage with one T_Port link from each IO/T chassis
Figure 5-3 shows a Multistage Switch built from SANbox-16 chassis. One T_Port
on each IO/T chassis (the minimum) connects to the CC chassis. This provides 100
MBytes of bandwidth between each IO/T chassis and no failover in case a T_Port
fails. Note that any IO/T chassis can communicate with any other IO/T chassis
with just three chassis hops (counting the source and destination chassis.
There are 15 user ports remaining on each IO/T chassis. All user ports may be F,
FL, SL, or TL_Ports.
