Figure 6.2 shows an example of a Layer 2 switching configuration using Layer 2 POS.
Figure 6.2 Basic POS Layer 2 switching configuration
This configuration shows four IP sub-nets. Each sub-net has members on both sides of the POS link. For
example, client C1 in the 192.168.1.x sub-net can communicate at Layer 2 with server S1 in the same sub-net,
even though the two devices are on different sides of the POS link.

Ethernet over POS
Each client and its server on the other
Foundry device are in the same sub-net.
Traffic between each client and its server
is bridged over a PPP link on the SONET
link on the Layer 2 POS ports.
Each client and its server are in their
own port-based VLAN. The POS
ports are configured in all the client
or server VLANs.
