FDDI MAC Configuration View
To access this view, do the following:
1. Highlight the MAC icon on the FDDI NMM logical module.
2. Select MAC Configuration from the Icon Subviews menu.
The view displays the following information:
SMT Index
Displays the value of the SMT index associated with this MAC.
MAC Index
Displays the index variable for uniquely identifying the MAC object instances.
Frame Status Functions
Displays a group of read-only indicator buttons that indicate the MAC’s
optional Frame Status processing functions. Possible values are; fs-repeating,
fs-setting, or copying.
Available Paths
Displays a group of read-only indicator buttons that indicate the path types
available for the station. Possible values are; primary, secondary, and local.
Current Path
Indicates the path into which this MAC is currently inserted.
Upstream Neighbor
Displays the MAC’s upstream neighbor’s long individual MAC address. It has
an initial value of the SMT- Unknown-MAC Address and is only modified as
specified by the Neighbor Information Frame protocol.
Downstream Neighbor
Displays the MAC’s downstream neighbor’s long individual MAC address. It
has an initial value of the SMT- Unknown-MAC Address and is only modified
as specified by the Neighbor Information Frame protocol.
Old Upstream Neighbor
Displays the previous value of the MAC’s upstream neighbor’s long individual
MAC address. It has an initial value of the SMT-Unknown- MAC Address and
is only modified as specified by the Neighbor Information Frame protocol.
Old Downstream Neighbor
Displays the previous value of the MAC’s downstream neighbor’s long
individual MAC address. It has an initial value of the SMT- Unknown-MAC
Address and is only modified as specified by the Neighbor Information Frame
protocol.
Duplicate Address Test
Displays the Duplicate Address Test flag, Dup_Addr_Test.
Downstream PORT Type
Indicates the PC-Type of the first port that is downstream of this MAC (the
exit port).
