If more than one interconnect is present, they are joined together in a federated configuration. A typical cabling example of the federated cabling for two interconnects is shown in the following table: Downlink Ports Uplink Ports 9 – 12 21 – 24 In the cable labels, or cabling tables, you will see that both the origin and the destination for these federated link cables is an ISR 9024 port, such as IB-SW1-P24 to IB-SW2-P24.
