CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Switch Configuration
numbers in 8300/8635 stack configurations.
There is no simple rule to find the MAC address of other TrBRF, but it is always in
the range below:
Stack Master Base A 32 < TrBRF MAC Address < Stack Master Base
A 95. And a TrBRF (VLAN) MAC address is assigned, when the
VLAN becomes preferred (i.e. it has an assigned port in the actual switch or
stack of switches) by selecting the lowest available MAC address above Stack
Master Base A 32.
If management (SNMP or TELNET) contact with the switch is lost (e.g. because
ports are moved from one TrBRF to another) it is suggested, that a terminal is
connected to the OBM port of the switch stack, and the IP Configuration menu is
entered. From here, it is possible to read the MAC address of the management entity
(TrBRF).
Address Format
Display format used for MAC addresses (canonical or non-canonical). Canonical
format is typically used in Ethernet networks and is also known as least significant
bit first. Non-canonical is typically used in Token-Ring networks and is also known
as most significant bit first.
System Name
Any name you choose to assign to the switch (on a TCP/IP network, it could be the
IP hostname).
System Location
Physical location of the switch.
System Contact
Person to contact if questions should arise.
