The host subsystem provides the routing and system management functions of the TX Matrix Plus router. You can install one or two host subsystems on the TX Matrix Plus router. A host subsystem consists of a Routing Engine installed directly into a slot in a control board. To operate, each host subsystem functions as a unit; the Routing Engine requires the corresponding control board, and vice versa.
![]() | Note: We recommend that you install two host subsystems for redundant protection. If you install only one host subsystem, we recommend that you install it in slot CB0. |
