2. Subtended Network Configuration Overview

A subtended network configuration

The term subtending refers to the host MC, and subtended refers to the downstream MC in a subtended network.

Figure 1 shows a subtending tree. The subtending host MC at the top of the subtending tree connects directly to the ATM switch. You can have two subtended node MCs connected to the first subtending host MC located at the top of the subtending tree. One or both of these subtended node MCs can also become a subtending host MC and therefore have one or two subtended node MCs connected to them.


Figure 1: Subtended Cisco 6100 Series System Network


You can subtend an MC to three tiers, with up to six MCs, all connecting through one subtending host MC to the ATM backbone (see Figure 1).

In Figure 2, the DS3 subtend host module (STM) is installed in slot 9 of the subtending host MC. A network interface (NI) module is located in slot 10. If you have

Figure 2 shows a subtending host MC and a subtended node MC with corresponding slot number assignments.
