Subtended Network Configuration Overview

Subtended Network Configuration Using DS3 NI-2 Cards
Note
If you are combining Cisco 6130 with NI-1 systems and Cisco 6130 with NI-2 systems in
a subtending tree topology, the subtending host chassis connecting to the ATM switch
must be a Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system. For better performance, Cisco does not
recommend mixing NI-1 and NI-2 systems in the same subtending tree topology.
You can subtend Cisco 6130 chassis with DS3 NI-2 cards in a continuous daisy chain.
However, this subtending scheme is not optimal for data throughput for daisy-chained
Cisco 6130 chassis that use DS3 NI-2 cards.
Cisco IOS software is not implemented to manage the primary Cisco 6130 chassis and all subtended
Cisco 6130 chassis as a single large Cisco 6130 with NI-2 card system. The initial release of Cisco 6130
with NI-2 system emphasizes bandwidth aggregation. Each Cisco 6130 supports an independent IOS
processor and MIB.
