Stage Type Radio Buttons
Any MKII Switch chassis can function as either of two Stage types. These are an
Input-Output/Transfer chassis (IO/T) or a Cross-Connect chassis (CC). Refer to
the fabric descriptions below for information about the two chassis types. Refer
also to the MKII Switch Multi-Stage Installer’s/User’s manual. Make the
appropriate selection in the Stage Type Radio buttons and press the Apply button
to apply the new Stage Type to the chassis.
Single-Stage Fabrics
In a single-stage Switch fabric (only one chassis in the fabric) the only
Chassis Type used is the IO/T chassis.
Two-Stage Fabrics
In a two-stage fabric, multiple chassis are meshed together forming a larger
fabric. In a two-stage fabric, all chassis are IO/T chassis. Some ports are
used as Input-Output fabric ports that connect to N and NL_Ports, and some
ports are used as Transfer ports that interconnect the chassis.
Multi-Stage Fabrics
In a multi-stage Switch fabric there are two types of chassis, IO/T and CC.
IO/T chassis provide input-output fabric ports that connect to N and
NL_Ports and also Transfer ports that connect to CC chassis. CC chassis
interconnect the IO/T chassis.
