Figure 2-18. Edge Switch Configuration
When your network expands and the users need to access resources beyond
the edge of the local network, the Series 8200zl Switch is an excellent platform
for that expansion. With the flexibility of 12 slots, the high port count 10/100/
1000-T zl Modules for local connections, and the availability of 10 Gig speeds
on both copper and fiber cables, the Series 8200zl Switch can provide that
access beyond the edge for a high number of network users.
In the above illustration, One 8200zl switch, which can serve as a campus
backbone or core switch, and is connected to one 5400zl switch and one 8200zl
switch at the edge.
The 10 Gig fiber-optic connections between the two Switches is by way of any
of the supported ProCurve 10 Gig X2 transceivers installed in the transceiver
port on the 4 port 10-GbE X2 zl Module.
The illustration shows the 10-gig modules in different slots, however for
optimum performance they should be mounted in one of the first six slots in
case of a single power supply running the chassis. See
