This chapter provides an overview of how redundant host modules, host subsystems,
and Routing Engines work on various routing platforms. Additionally, it describes the
topics as listed in Table 135 on page 564.

craft interface or the Routing Engine
(depending on which chassis the Routing
Engine is installed).
