Redundant connections to the management stations example
Figure 16
Because the inband management interfaces do not support a multi-homing stack, unique
addresses must be used on the management station to communicate with different inband
management interfaces. If both management station interfaces are on the same subnet, then
host-specific routes must be added on the 7800 switches.
