ports numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 and all are switchable then this table will have
four entries for that entity indexed 1, 2, 3 and 4. The entry with index 1
represents port 1 etc. Similarly if a bridge had two ports numbered, for some
reason, 234 and 456 then these values would be used as the index to this
table.
Type
Displays the type of facility for this entry. Possible values include ieee8023,
ieee8025, fddi, ieee8025rb, ieee8023v3, atm, and smds.
Connection
Displays the current assignment of this attachment point in this card. The
legal values of this object depends on the type card. Writing an illegal value to
this object will cause an error. Table 5-15 identifies the possible values,
depending on card type. Each card type will support a subset of these values.
Values greater than 0x7f are reserved values for a particular card, the
meaning of which depends on the card type. For example, a multiport 802.3
bridge is capable of bridging between three sources and having two external
802.3 connections. Such a bridge would have three entries in the facility table,
one per bridge source, each of which could be assigned to one of the backplane
802.3 paths or to one of the external connections. In this case the possible
values for each table entry would be:
The chassis agent will not allow two different entries in this table for the same
card to be assigned to the same facility.
Table 5-15. Card Type Assignment Values
Type Possible Values
IEEE8023 0: Isolated (This interface is not connected to anything).
1,2,3: One of the backplane 802.3 networks.
IEEE8025 0: Isolated
1..0x7f: A ring number. This must match the value of one of
he ring builder cards or the request will be rejected.
FDDI Unknown at the moment. Probably similar to IEEE8025
0x00 Not used (isolated)
0x01, 0x02, 0x03 One of the backplanes
0x81, 0x82 One of the external connections.
