Glossary

type 1 option

A Type 1 option is a Network 9000 product or a MAXserver family product

which does not support chassis management commands, and has a link to midplane
Ethernet segment A only.

type 2 option

A type 2 option consists of a Network 9000 module or module set. Type 2

options support chassis management commands and have links that can connect to
midplane Ethernet segment A, B, or C.

W A N

WAN is an acronym for Wide Area Network. A Network 9000 WAN

Bridge/Router has four WAN links.
