Introduction ESX Devices

1-2 Management Module Guide

The BRIMs and EPIMs are optional. They transfer packets between different

channels. However, unlike EPIMs, BRIMs bridge these packets from one

transmission type to another (e.g., Ethernet to FDDI network backbones).

Possible BRIMs are as follows:

• BRIM-F6: FDDI Dual Attached Station (DAS) connection

• BRIM-E6: Ethernet module with selectable media connections

• BRIM-T6: Token Ring connection

• BRIM-A6: Asynchronous Transfer Mode connection

SPECTRUM Model Types

This section describes the model types used in SPECTRUM to manage the

devices, and it describes how to access the SPECTRUM views that provide the

management information.

Model Types

The following model type names refer to the models used to specify attributes,

actions, and associations for the devices in SPECTRUM:

• ESXMIM is used for the ESXMIM and ESXMIM-F2

• ESXW is used for the ESX-1320 and ESX-1380

When modeling a device, the following selections appear in the Select Model

Type dialog box:

• BRtrCSIESXM for the ESXMIM and ESXMIM-F2

• BRtrCSIESXW for the ESX-1320 and ESX-1380

Refer to the

Administrator’s Reference

for modeling instructions.

Accessing SPECTRUM Views

The Device icon provides access to SPECTRUM views that display device-

speciﬁc information. Access these views using double-click zones (Figure 1-1)

or Icon Subviews menus (Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3).

To access the Icon Subviews menu, do the following:

1. Highlight the icon.
