14 Introduction to the Extricom Wireless LAN System
Switch Cascade (Multi Series 1000 Platform Only)
Switch Cascade is a new Extricom topology in which two Multi Series 1000 switches are
interconnected together to create one larger logical switch with enhanced redundancy. One Multi
Series 1000 switch serves as the primary, and the other Multi Series 1000 switch serves as the
secondary. A diagram of the Cascade topology is shown below, in its standard configuration:
Figure 11: Switch Cascade Topology
The interconnect is connected to the LAN2 port of each switch. See page 26 for more details about
the interconnect hardware and maximum length.
The APs of each switch form a seamless channel blanket that extends across the APs of both
switches. Up to 4 seamless channel blankets can be deployed. Up to 32 APs can be deployed in the
cascade topology.
In the above topology, the switch configuration is redundant, but the APs are not. To achieve AP
redundancy, the APs from each switch should be deployed in a mesh configuration, as illustrated
below:
