AX Series Network Partition: Solution Guide [Basic] Second Edition

3.3 Network partition using GSRP

The following shows an example of configuring a network partition system with GSRP in a network that uses

the AX6300S as the L3 core switch.

Figure 3.3-1 GSRP-configured network partitions

In this configuration as well, the system is a redundant system that is physically configured using ordinary GSRP.

One of the advantages of GSRP is that a redundant system based on VRRP and STP can be replaced without

physically changing the configuration. Additionally, in software ver.11.2, a VRF function can be used together

with GSRP. Therefore, a network partition can be easily established without significantly changing the physical

configuration of the redundant system previously configured using VRRP and STP.

This example shows how to configure a system composed of two independent networks, based on a redundant

configuration system consisting of two existing switch devices.
