Subtending vs. Expansion topologies (2/2)

 subtending
• connecting multiple ISAM systems (7302 CO or 7330 host)
via Ethernet subtending links
• standalone nodes: each node provides the Ethernet switch and aggregation function and
is managed separately

 expansion
• connecting ISAM host shelf (7330 FD only) with remote LTs,
via expansion links (optical)
• switch and aggregation function in host shelf only
• one system: host shelves are managed together as a single system
