SP Switch Router Adapter Guide - 1.4 Update 2

    C-1

The SP Switch Router provides LAN and WAN access for SP processor nodes. The SP Switch 
Router Adapter card and SP processor nodes are IP-addressed nodes on the SP Switch 
network. 

Three basic configurations are building blocks for more complex networking topologies that 
include the SP Switch Router:

1. single SP Switch Router Adapter card

and 

single SP partition

2. multiple SP Switch Router Adapter cards 

and 

single SP partition

3. multiple SP Switch Router Adapter cards 

and 

multiple SP partitions

Appendix C provides an example of each configuration type, and discusses IP addressing and 
routing considerations that will help you design your configuration.
