The main components of the XRN
technology are as follows:
Distributed Device Management (DDM)
DDM lets customers configure and
manage the Distributed Fabric as a
single entity via the CLI, Web inter-
face, or SNMP. In the event of failure
in one of the switches, management
access to the remaining switch is
retained on the same IP address.
Distributed Link Aggregation (DLA)
DLA enables wiring closet switches or
hosts to create Aggregated Links that
are dual-homed across the switches in
the Distributed Fabric. Should a port
in the Aggregated Link fail, traffic
will be forwarded via the remaining
ports. DLA provides Intelligent Local
Forwarding—enabling each switch in
the Fabric to make its own forwarding
decisions, without sending traffic
across the Fabric Interconnect.
Distributed Resilient Routing (DRR)
DRR lets both switches in the
Distributed Fabric act as a single 
logical router. The switches use the
same router interfaces and mirror
each other's routing tables. This pro-
tects the network against unit failure
and enables each switch to locally
route traffic for greater Layer 3 for-
warding performance.
XRN Phase One, enabled by the 
3Com XRN Interconnect Kit, is the
first evolution of XRN technology. It
is supported on the 3Com Switch
4050 and 4060, and the SuperStack 3
Switch 4900 family. XRN Phase One
lets customers build a Distributed
Fabric with two 3Com switches which
are managed as a single logical entity.
A Fabric retains the software 
capabilities and functionality of its
component switches.

XRN Technology Hierarchy
"3Com offers a revolutionary
approach to build enterprise
LAN cores with innovative
technology that breaks new
ground in the networking
industry."
Zeus Kerravala, vice president of
Enterprise Infrastructure, Yankee Group
3Com eXpandable Resilient
Networking (XRN
) is a patented
technology that lets enterprise 
customers design and implement
affordable, high-availability Gigabit
Ethernet core and aggregation back-
bones that provide exceptional
performance and flexibility. XRN
technology lets multiple Gigabit Layer
3 switches function as a single multi-
layer switching entity called a
Distributed Fabric. The Fabric is 
managed and configured as a single
device, even though each switch in
the Distributed Fabric makes its own
Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding
decisions.
The XRN technology hierarchy is
shown in figure 1.
