Figure 10

Configuring power workgroups and a shared media hub

Fail-safe stack application

Figure 11

shows an example of eight Business Policy Switches that are stacked

together as a single managed unit. If any single unit in the stack fails, the
remaining stack remains operational, without interruption.

As shown in

Figure 11

, the Passport 1100 switch is used as a backbone switch,

connecting to the Business Policy Switch with an optional gigabit
(1000BASE-SX) MDA

for maximum bandwidth. This configuration uses

optional BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Modules to connect the switches in the
fail-safe stack.

For an overview of the fail-safe stacking feature that is available for the Business
Policy Switches, see
