Layer 2 switch. Nortel recommends the use of distributed connections,
however, nondistributed is supported if the cost of the additional data
networking equipment is an issue.
Figure 12 "Single server port configuration: no dual-homing" (page

shows the supported configuration for a single server configuration
without redundant network configurations. This is the standard
configuration of a cost-effective single server configuration.
Figure 12
Single server port configuration: no dual-homing
A single server supports multiple MGCs using external networking
equipment.
Figure 13 "Single server port configuration: dual-homing (nondistributed)"
(page 66)
shows a typical network configuration that supports dual-homing
of both the ELAN and TLAN network interfaces. With this configuration,
however, a single Layer 2 switch is still a single point of failure.
