Increasing Local Bandwidth Within the Fabric
In Figure 2-2, three connections are shown between Switch A and Switch B. This
connection gives an aggregate bandwidth of six Gbps—in other words, three 1-Gbps,
full-duplex connections. Increasing bandwidth between switches is done by adding
additional connections between the switches.
In addition to the bandwidth, redundant connections between the switches in
Figure 2-2 provide a high-bandwidth, fault-tolerant fabric.
