Re: About Backplane

[Circusnuts]

Actually- a simple answer.  It's the motherboard.  You slide the processor & interface cards into the backplane for power (some management), & a transfer bus to the physical interface (be it Ethernet, Serial, FDDI, etc., etc).  I'm going to reach into controversy "probably," but it's a layer 1 bus.   That's it, but you're right it sounds a little heady :-) Phil   "Moerdo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 8v985c$f35$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:8v985c$f35$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I still don't understand with cisco catalyst 5500 backplane.
