To Use the SunFDDI/P Proxy Agent (

pf_fddismt7_2

)

The SunFDDI/P proxy agent (

pf_fddismt7_2

) responds to SNM requests

from the console and issues SMT Request Frames (SRF) to a specified target
station. It then returns the information received from the target station in
response to the request. The basic operation of the SunFDDI/P proxy agent is
shown in Figure 9-3.

in the properties window for the proxy station.
