Chassis Design w/ Upgradeable Modules

This was proposed design was actually implemented.



Stackable Approach

This design was not implemented - instead low cost modular switches arranged in star form were employed rather than the Asante stackable switches.




Switch w/ Multiple VLANs and Subnets
