SmartSwitch 9000 9F426-02 Local Management Appendix 9031680-02
Appendix 9F426-02 Module Specific Information Introduction This appendix contains local management information that is specific to the 9F426-02 FDDI Switch Module. Module Interfaces The 9F426-02 FDDI Switch Module has seven interfaces. Table 1 lists the identifying number, name, and description of each interface. Table 1.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information FNB Configuration The FNB Configuration Menu (Figure 1) contains menu selections that allow you to configure the attachment of an FDDI Switch Module to the Flexible Network Buses on the chassis’ backplane, and to display an illustration that shows the topology of the FNB’s FDDI rings connected to that module.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information FNB Resource Configuration The 9F426-02 FDDI Switch Module is capable of bridging/switching any three, of five possible interfaces, depending on the way you configure the module. The module’s INB connection is fixed (not user-configured). The FNB Resource Configuration Screen (Figure 2) allows you to connect both front panel ports, both FNB ports, or one front panel and one FNB port to the bridge/switch.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information FNB Resource Configuration Screen Fields The following information briefly explains each FNB Resource Configuration Screen field. Current FDDI Con Displays the current connections of the selected module to the SmartSwitch 9000’s FNB. Config ID Displays an identification number that is automatically assigned to each configuration.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information FNB Resource Configuration Codes Table 2 lists and describes the FDDI connections from which you can select. Table 2. 9F426-02 FDDI Switch Modules FNB Resource Configuration Codes Configuration ID FDDI Connections Description 1 FNB1 <-> FNB2 The two FDDI Networks on the backplane (FNB-1 and FNB-2) are connected to the same bridge/switch.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information Ring Map Configuration The Ring Map Configuration Screen (Figure 3) contains configuration and connection information with an illustration of the ring topology for the FDDI rings connected to the module. SMARTSWITCH 9000 LOCAL MANAGEMENT Ring Map Configuration Module Name: 9F426-02 Slot Number: 6 Firmware Revision: 02.00.03 BOOTPROM Revision: 00.00.
F426-02 Module Specific Information Ring Map Configuration Screen Fields The following information briefly explains each Ring Map Configuration Screen field. FDDI Address Displays the address of the module. The format of this address (either MAC or Canonical) is determined by the value you select in the Address Mode field. MAC Count Displays the number of MACs (Media Access Controllers) that are attached to the specified ring.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information • SAC (Single Attached Concentrator) Station that accesses the main ring through another concentrator and, in turn, allows the connection of more devices. SACs provide the same connections as DACs, without attaching to the dual ring. • NAC (Null Attached Concentrator) Isolated concentrator; concentrator not connected to an FDDI ring.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information FNB 2 or FNB 1 The Current Ring Map field identifies the ring (FNB-1 or FNB-2) on which a MAC for the specified module resides. If an additional ring is attached to the module, the name of that additional ring appears as a command. To view the ring map of the additional ring, use the arrow keys to highlight the name of the additional ring and then press the Return key.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information Ring Map Node The Ring Map Node Screen displays specific information for a selected FDDI node on the Ring Map. SMARTSWITCH 9000 LOCAL MANAGEMENT Ring Map Node Module Name: 9F426-02 Slot Number: 6 Firmware Revision: 02.00.03 BOOTPROM Revision: 00.00.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information Ring Map Node Screen Fields The following information briefly explains each Ring Map Node Screen field. Address Displays the address of the selected node. Upstream Address Displays the address of the selected node’s nearest upstream neighbor. Node Class Displays the class (NAS, DAS, DAC, SAS or SAC) of the selected node. For an explanation of these class codes, see page 7.
9F426-02 Module Specific Information Exiting the Ring Map Node Screen To exit the Ring Map Node Screen and return to the Ring Map Configuration Screen, use the arrow keys to highlight RETURN and then press the Return key.
