PRODUCT OVERVIEW
2.4.9 Redundant Switch Ring
Multiple VLX2500 switches provide redundancy to protect network integrity. The
redundant switch ring topology is the same as the switch ring topology, but with the
added redundancy of a second switch. Data flow can be preserved if the fiber or even
one of the switches fails.
