FDDI Management
Concentrator configuration; connection policy; station list; concentrator performance; FDDI statistics;
frame translation
The FDDI menu lets you access windows to view a MultiSwitch 700 module’s
FDDI configuration, connection policy, station list, and performance with respect
to each Station Management (SMT) entity present on an installed DELHF-UA
modular interface. You can also configure your module’s frame translation
settings using the Frame Translation window.
The Device View for a MultiSwitch 700 with an installed DELHF-UA will also
offer a FDDI Statistics window, which can be launched from the Device menu.
SMT provides the system management services for the FDDI protocols, including
connection management, node configuration, error recovery, statistics collecting,
and management frame encoding. SMT is comprised of various subcomponent
functions, including Connection Management (CMT) and Ring Management
(RMT); one SMT entity will be present for the ring connected to the DELHF-UA.
Viewing FDDI Information
The windows that provide information about the FDDI ring connected to the
MultiSwitch 700 module are:
• Configuration — This window displays the current configuration and status
of the ring associated with the selected SMT entity.
NOTE
The FDDI menu and associated management windows will only appear if you have a
DELHF-UA installed in a MultiSwitch 700 module.
