Using the TRMMIM Hub View
Navigating through the Hub View, monitoring hub activity; managing the hub at the device, module,
and port levels
The heart of the SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the
TRMMIM is the Hub View, a graphical interface that gives you access to many of
the functions that provide control over the TRMMIM-managed hub.
Using the Hub View
There are two ways to open the Hub View: if you are working within a network
management system, you can select the Hub View option from the icon menu;
specific directions for creating a TRMMIM icon and accessing the icon menu can
be found in the appropriate Installing and Using SPECTRUM for... guide. If you
are running the TRMMIM module in a stand-alone mode, type the following at
the command line:
spmarun e5hub <IP address> <community name>
NOTE
Note that the Hub View application only allows you to control boards and ports in the
domain of a single management module. If you have another management module
installed in the chassis to the left of the monitored TRMMIM, boards that are under the
domain of that module (i.e., Media Interface Modules – or MIMs – to its left) will still
display in the Hub View of the monitored TRMMIM; however, only boards within the
domain of the monitored TRMMIM can be correctly controlled. Flexible Network Bus
(FNB) connections across the MMAC chassis will be displayed regardless of modules
installed; however, only FNB connections within the domain of the monitored module can
be controlled. For example, if you had a TRMMIM and a TRBMIM installed in the same
chassis with the TRBMIM to the left of the TRMMIM, and you were modeling the
TRMMIM in a Hub View, you would have to create a separate Hub View for the
TRBMIM to control the FNB connections and manage MIMs to the left of the TRBMIM.
However, even while modeling the TRMMIM, you would still be able to view the boards
and FNB connections across the entire MMAC.
