MicroMMAC-E Applications
Introduction MicroMMAC-E
1-2 Management Module Guide
(e.g., Ethernet to: FDDI network backbones, Wide Area, or Ethernet, etc.).
Other optional BRIMs are as follows:
¥ BRIM-E : Ethernet module with selectable media connections
¥ BRIM-F6 : FDDI Dual Attached Station (DAS) connection
¥ BRIM-WT1: Wide Area NetworK (WAN)
When a BRIM is inserted into a MicroMMAC-E chassis, the icon dynamically
changes from a hub icon to a bridging icon, demonstrating the additional
bridging functionality provided by the BRIM. This is referred to as Òin-the-hub
bridging/routing.Ó
To model these devices, you create a LAN_802_3 model representing each
network the MicroMMAC-E is monitoring; you can then connect them to the
device icon. This model type software ÒconnectsÓ a repeater icon to the
repeater port and places it in the MicroMMAC-E Device Topology (DevTop)
View. (The repeater model is related to the hub model with the ÒManagesÓ
relation.) You copy these repeater icons into the LAN_802_3 icons to allow the
hubs to gather performance statistics on each LAN_802_3 subnet.
The following chapters explain how to use SPECTRUM and the management
module software to monitor and manage a MicroMMAC-E.
MicroMMAC-E Applications
The MicroMMAC-E Management Module supports both common and device-
speciÞc applications described in the MIB II Applications, Bridging
Applications, and Miscellaneous Applications references. SPECTRUM
management of a MicroMMAC-E is based on the following common and
device-speciÞc applications:
¥ Bridging (CSIBridge)
- Ethernet Special Database (SDB) (Ct_BdgEnet_App)
- PPP_BdgApp1474
- Spanning Tree (Ct_Stp_App)
- Static (Static_App)
- Transparent (CT_Tp_App
¥ CtRouter (CtRouterApp
- IP Routing (CtIP2App)
- CtIPServices
¥ DLM (DLM_Agent)
¥ CtWANAppDS1
¥ PPP_LCPApp1471
