Host Subsystem
Switching and roung funconality, system management, and system control funcons of an EX9214
switch are performed by the host subsystem. The host subsystem consists of a Roung Engine
funconing together with a Switch Fabric.
You must install either two or three host subsystems in the slots 7 through 9—labeled 0, 1, and 2 | 6—in
the front panel of the chassis. A base-conguraon EX9214 switch has two host subsystems. A
redundant-conguraon EX9214 switch has a third host subsystem. For more informaon, see "EX9214
Switch Conguraons" on page 9.
Line Cards
The EX9214 switch has 12 vercal line card slots. The line cards for EX9214 switches combine a Packet
Forwarding Engine and Ethernet interfaces in a single assembly. Line cards are eld-replaceable units
(FRUs) that you can install in the line card slots 1 through 6 (labeled 0 through 5) and 9 through 14
