Topology Considerations

In a single-line path configuration, you configure one single-line direct-connect or

satellite-connect line-handler process for each path to an adjacent node. In a multi-

CPU path configuration, you configure multiple direct-connect or satellite-connect

line-handler processes, usually in separate processors, for each path to an adjacent

node. In a multi-line path configuration, you configure a path that consists of multiple

lines between two adjacent nodes.

In Figure 7-2, a single-line path is configured between node \A and node \B and

between node \B and node \A; a multi-CPU path that consists of two paths is

configured between node \A and node \C; and a multi-line path that consists of three

lines is configured between node \C and node \D.
