Types of Inline Networks
The types of inline networks are described in the following sections:
| • | Unprotected Inline Network |
| • | Protected Inline Network |
| • | Mix of Protected and Unprotected |
Unprotected Inline Network
An unprotected inline network consists of two ports of the inline-network type, which facilitate access to a bidirectional link between two networks (or more precisely, two far-end network devices).
Any available network type ports on a GigaVUE HC Series node can be configured to be inline-network type ports and combined to form an unprotected inline network. An unprotected inline network is shown in Figure 1: Unprotected Inline Network.
