3.1.1 System configuration example

Figure 3.1-3 shows a configuration example of a relatively small-sized system. In this example, only box-type

devices are used to build the backbone network, and forwarding between access and distribution switches is

basically performed on Layer 2.

3.1-3 Configuration with AX2400S series switches

AX2400S series switches are used for the core switch and the switches on each floor (which correspond to

distribution switches). The terminals of each floor and the server belong to the same VLAN, that is, the same

subnet.

The core device is the master node of the ring so that the device works differently than other devices on each

floor.

If you want to communicate between VLANs (subnets) or communicate with an external network, you need to

place an L3-relay device outside of the ring.
