Diagram of a chassis with two SSCs installed and slots configured for 16 blades. The SSCs are each connected to the same external switch. The ce0 interface for each blade in a system chassis has a connection to the switch in SSC0, and the ce1 interface on each blade has a connection to the switch in SSC1. In the diagram, one or more of the eight uplink ports on the switch are connected to an external switch that has a Network Install Server (also containing a Name Server) connected to it. This external switch has a router (with IP address 192.168.1.1) connected to it that acts as the default gateway from the chassis to the wider network. On both SSCs the 100Mbps network management port (labeled NETMGT on the rear of the chassis) is connected to the external switch. All of the IP addresses assigned to the system chassis are on the same subnet.
