Figure 2-5: Minimum Network Configuration - PS6000

For maximum network bandwidth and availability, it is recommended that you

use eight

network cables to connect all the network interfaces to multiple network

switches. The switches must be connected with interswitch links that have

sufficient bandwidth. See Figure 2-6.
