9-9FDDI Interconnect Requirements
General Configuration Procedure
The network configuration phase of an interconnect are standard.
Note: This procedure is the same whatever the interconnect type (Ethernet hub single or
double, Ethernet switch single or double, FDDI hub, FDDI switch, or FCS).
See General Configuration Procedure, on page 7-11. The network configuration
phase differs, and is given below.
Network Configuration
1. Set the attachment port configuration:
type: set attach
A selection prompt appears, select the B/A attachment port configuration
2. Set the IP address:
type: set ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the Hub’s IP address (e.g. 190.183.7.10)
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the netmask (e.g. 255.255.255.0)
zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz is the broadcast IP address
3. To verify your IP address, type: show ip
4. Type: connect
This command has the hub connected to the FDDI ring.
5. Try to ping the hubs from one of the nodes.
Try to ping one node from another one.
To configure the IP address the conventional rules must be applied. With this LinkBuilder
FDDI the dual ring between the two hubs could be on another subnetwork, to obtain the
high availability some routes must be added for each hub.
