Introduction

Use of NIONs in an XDAB cluster, particularly when also using CobraNet and VLANs, creates specific considerations and rules that must be observed in order to ensure proper operation of the system. This chapter is intended to provide awareness of the technical issues that must be considered when using XDAB clusters and VLANs with CobraNet. A basic knowledge of CobraNet, NIONs and VLANs is assumed.

Note: XDAB is available on NION n3 and N6 models, but not nX or nE models.
