FDDI Applications
6-6 Connection Policy Window
Secondary 2 indicates that the Secondary 2 FDDI ring is being used.
Local means that the MAC is connected to one or more nodes but is not
connected to the dual ring.
Isolated means that the MAC has no connection to the ring or other
concentrator ports.
Unknown or ? indicates that your management application cannot determine
the MAC path for the HSIM-F6.
Ring Configuration
The current configuration of the MAC and physical layers of the A and B ports.
Connection Policy Window
The SMT Connection Policy of an FDDI concentrator determines which types of
connections are allowed among the four FDDI port types: A, B, M (Master), and S
(Slave). FDDI protocol forbids Master—>Master connections; all other connection
types are legal, although some are considered to be undesirable.
The Connection Policy window, Figure 6-3, lists potential connection types in a
“Reject X-Y” format, where X represents a port on the HSIM-F6, and Y represents
the attaching node. An checkmark in the check box next to a Connection Policy
indicates that it is an illegal connection.
