Figure 4-11. The Station List Window
Note that the information displayed in the Station List window is static once the
window is opened; for updated information, click mouse button 1 on
.
Also, note the scroll bar located to the right of the list window; use it to view
additional stations, if necessary. The total number of MAC entities (which may or
may not equal the number of devices or stations) on the listed ring is displayed at
the bottom of the window.
The Station List window provides the following information about each node
residing on the same ring as the front panel interface or SMT entity selected in the
Scope
field, beginning with the selected interface and traveling upstream.
(Remember, if you launch the Station List application from the command line, no
front panel designations will appear; each FDDI interface will be listed by its SMT
index only.)
Entry
An index number assigned to each station in the ring. The front panel interface or
SMT entity currently selected in the Scope field is always assigned number one.
MAC Address
The MAC, or hardware, address of each station on the ring. You can display the
MAC address in Canonical (FDDI) format or MSB (Ethernet) format by clicking
mouse button 1 on
, then dragging down to select the desired
address mode. The Address Mode field above the button displays the current
setting; the default display mode is Canonical (FDDI).
