ISIS | 7500 Zone 2 Client Configuration (Indirect Connect)
The ISIS | 7500 supports external switches connected through the 10 Gb port on each ISS. Clients that are
connected to an external switch are referred to as Zone 2 clients and have a layer 2 relationship connection to ISIS.
For a list of supported switches, see the
“Qualified and Approved ISIS Switches” on page 11.
A Zone 2 (indirect connect) configuration consists of group of clients connected to an Ethernet switch with a 10
Gb port connected to an ISS located in the Engine. The System Director also connects to both subnets via both
ISS modules using a 1 Gb port. Depending upon the switch configuration, each client shown connected to the
external switch is connected to one of the two subnets through one of the two 10 Gb connections.
