3.2 Network partitions in a ring network
This section shows an example of configuring network partitions in a network where AX6300S L3 core switches
are used together with a ring protocol.
Figure 3.2-1 Network partitions in a ring network
Physically, the system uses a normal ring protocol in this configuration.
Using a ring protocol for the L2 networks makes the system scalable and flexible to the type of lines used. In
particular, use in combination with network partition provides many advantages for systems requiring flexible
settings for each network, such as easy addition and removal of partitions.
This configuration example shows two independent networks used in the system.
