9F426-02 Module Specific Information
FNB Resource Configuration
The 9F426-02 FDDI Switch Module is capable of bridging/switching any three, of
five possible interfaces, depending on the way you configure the module. The
module’s INB connection is fixed (not user-configured).
The FNB Resource Configuration Screen (Figure 2) allows you to connect both
front panel ports, both FNB ports, or one front panel and one FNB port to the
bridge/switch. Redirecting one or both of the module’s front panel FDDI
interfaces to the FNB backplane creates an INB to FNB bridge/switch product
that allows migration from FNB modules to INB modules.
The SmartSwitch 9000 FNB backplane is composed of two FDDI Networks (FNB-
1 and FNB-2). The FNB Resource Configuration Screen lists all possible
connections a module can support on the FNB, displays the current connection,
and allows you to change the connection.
