Physical Module Representation
The SynOptics Series 5000 Hub Physical Device view shows a physical
representation of the hub and the modules installed in the hub. The Physical
Device view provides access to information and subviews pertaining to each of
the modules.
Logical Module Representation
A SynOptics Series 5000 Device view can also display a logical representation
of the hub. The logical module representation provides information about the
individual modules and the hub’s backplane instead of presenting a physical
image.
The leftmost module icon in the Logical Device view represents the hub’s
backplane and provides information on the connectivity of backplane
segments, rings, and paths (Figure 1-1). Other slots contain logical
representations of the Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI modules installed in the
hub. A logical module is divided into several areas, one representing module
information and others representing information about each port, cluster,
segment, and/or attachment on the module.
The Backplane Module
The backplane module contains icons representing Ethernet backplane
segments, Token Ring backplane rings, and FDDI backplane paths. Each
backplane icon displays usage through a color scheme. The backplane
representation is broken down into the following areas:
Module Identifier
Identifies the module type and provides double-click access the Backplane
Notes view.
Protocol Identifier
Identifies the protocol type of the backplane segments following it, (i.e.,
Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI). The Ethernet Protocol Identifier provides
double-click access to the Ethernet Backplane Segment Statistics view. The
Token Ring Protocol Identifier provides double-click access to the Split/Join
Backplane Rings view described later in this chapter. Token Ring backplane
rings can be joined or split through the backplane module. You can view
Ethernet backplane statistics, an Ethernet Redundancy Table for entire
chassis, TR FPU statistics and an TR RI/RO Extension Table for the entire
chassis.
