Chapter 1 Introduction What is in this Chapter This chapter describes CabletronÕs TRBMIMª (Token Ring Bridging Media Interface Module), a SPECTRUM management module. It also lists the speciÞc device models supported by this management module, and the model type name assigned to the TRBMIM in SPECTRUM. The model type name refers to the template used to specify attributes, actions, and associations for certain device models in SPECTRUM.
TRBMIM Applications bridging capabilities. It provides port level control and statistics for CabletronÕs Token Ring Bridging Media Interface Modules. It is fully IBM Token Ring compatible and IEEE 802.5 compliant, using an Intel i960 RISC processor for in-depth management functions.
Supported Firmware Revisions - Static (Static_App) ¥ MIB-II (SNMP2_Agent) - IP (IP2_App) System (System2_App) ICMP (ICMP_App) UDP (UDP2_App) ¥ Download App (CtDownLoadApp) The TRBMIM Management Module also supports RMON and DLM, and SPECTRUM management of these MIBs may be purchased separately. Refer to the documentation provided with the RMON and DLM management modules for descriptions of these capabilities.
SPMA and the TRBMIM 4. Select Applications from the Utilities menu.
SPMA and the TRBMIM ¥ Chapter 6, Ring Security ConÞguration, explains how to set security for a selected ring, explains the Security ConÞguration window Þelds and buttons, including the Allowed and Disallowed Station Lists, and discusses conÞguration of ring security via the Security ConÞguration window.

Chapter 2 Device View What is in this Chapter This chapter provides a description of the two types of Device View for the TRBMIM Management Module Ñ the Logical and Physical Device Views. The discussion also includes an explanation of how to use each of these views. The Device View for the TRBMIM lets you view the logical representations of the TRBMIM device and ports.The Device View also lets you access various menus leading to views that monitor and control the TRBMIM and its ports.
TRBMIM Physical Device View Only capabilities, in which case the Device View shows only the TRBMIM unit itself. Figure 2-2 on page 2-5 shows the Physical Device View when the module has been set for Bridging-and-Management capabilities, in which case the Device View shows representations not only for the TRBMIM but also for the associated Hub modules.
