2 Switch groups means you can either put any or all of the ports in a switch or any or all can be routed. The bypass is a pair of ports that if the power goes away are physically connected, so data just bypasses the router. On 11/1/2010 11:15 AM, Mark Nash wrote: Fair enough. I also get

We use a 2 router setup. 1st router is for backhauls. 2nd router is for Customer access (Aps, etc.). A 493 gains us 16 ports (2 are used for uplink between the 2). You can apply different firewall rules on the different routers if you so desire. Justin -- Justin Wilson
