SPECTRUM and the SynOptics Distributed 5000 Series
Device View
Some differences in the D5000 Device view should be noted:
• Multiple cascaded chassis containing boards are displayed instead of just
one chassis' board.
• NMM boards always are in the x4 slot (where x is the first digit of the
chassis number ). The instance on the chassis and boards will change
depending on how they are added to the stack.
• For the 5000, ports can be isolated or attached to a segment local to the
individual board or to a backplane segment. For the D5000, ports can be
isolated, attached to a segment local to the chassis (any port on any board
in that chassis can be on the same local segment) or to a cascaded segment
that any port from any chassis in the stack can be on.
• If more than one NMM is on a repeater stack, the NMM in the chassis
with the lowest number will be active and any others will be in standby
mode. Standby NMMs are used for redundancy purposes.

NOTE
If you model the HubSynDN5xxx through AutoDiscovery, the model will be
placed in Lost & Found because the IP Address is associated with the NMM
Agent.
NOTE
Up to three (3) Data Collection Modules ((DCMs) called N11s) can be added to
the NMM to monitor the different cascaded segments.
