FNB Interface
FNB Interface
MMAC-Plus modules are designed with one of two attachment policies. One
allows dual attachment of a module to either FNB-1 or FNB-2; the second allows
dual attachment to both FNB-1 and FNB-2. The 9W111-08 has one dual
attachment to the FNB backplane, connecting to either FNB-1 or FNB-2. The
module can insert into the FNB or bypass it. These flexible configuration options
make the MMAC-Plus ideal for networks designed to Bridge/Route multiple
lower speed LANs to FDDI and/or networks designed using an FDDI collapsed
backbone.
CPU
The CPU provides the SNMP protocol stacks, as well as support for industry
standard MIBs.
