Host Subsystem in an EX9200 Switch
Switching and routing functionality, system management, and system control functions
of an EX9200 switch are performed by host subsystem. A host subsystem consists of a
Routing Engine functioning together with a Switch Fabric.
You can install either one or two host subsystems in the front panel of an EX9204 or an
EX9208 switch. A base configuration EX9204 and EX9208 switch has one host
subsystem. A redundant configuration EX9204 and EX9208 switch has a second host
subsystem.
You can install either twoor three host subsystems in the front panel of an EX9214 switch.
A base configuration EX9214 switch has two host subsystems. A redundant configuration
EX9214 switch has a third host subsystem.
