Parallel Bridge and DLSw Paths
If a valid bridging path already exists between two LANs, do not configure a
parallel DLSw connection path between the same two LANs (Figure 2-7). Parallel
data paths allow frames to traverse the LANs twice which, in turn, may confuse
systems on the associated LAN segments.
