The logical configuration of the system is illustrated below:
Figure 3.2-2 Logical configuration
Node C1 (core), configured with an AX6304S used as the FT switch, uses VRF to handle two independent
networks, VRF10 for Network 1 and VRF20 for Network 2. Access edge nodes are configured using an
AX2430S series switch, an L2 switch supporting ALAXALA's ring protocol. Node C1 and the edge nodes are
connected via a ring network.
The ability of ring networks to assign different routes to each separate VLAN of the partitions is used. This
enables the load balance per partition to reduce the load on the ring network.
System administration is maintained through the global network, enabling the remote control of the overall
system.
The important points and an example of the configuration for the device are given below.
