Redirecting a Front Panel Port to the MultiSwitch 900 Backplane

Each of the 12 front panel Ethernet interfaces on a VNswitch 900EX, 900EF, and 900EA module can be individually redirected to a MultiSwitch 900 backplane LAN segment to create a backplane LAN. Similarly, 12 of the 24 Ethernet interfaces on a VNswitch 900EE module can be individually redirected to a MultiSwitch 900 backplane LAN segment.

To redirect Ethernet interfaces to the backplane, you must install the optional MultiChassis Manager, a component of the clearVISN network management product. Refer to the documentation accompanying the product for information about how to use MultiChassis Manager.
