3. Examples of Configuring Systems with Network Partitions
As described in Chapter 1, the basic configuration of network partitions is a combination of VRF-enabled L3
core switches and L2 networks. This chapter describes how to configure a system using a detailed example.
3.1 Network partitions in an FT network
Given below is an example of a network partition system based on an FT network configured using an AX6700S
L3 core switch as an FT switch.
Figure 3.1-1 Network partitions in an FT network
The physical configuration appears to be similar to a normal FT network system without network partition.
However, network partition enables you to establish multiple logically separated L3 network systems. This
advantage allows you to integrate the stability of an FT network into multiple networks created using network
partitions.
This configuration example shows two independent networks used in the system.
