Configuring the Modules
4-5
Use the SET PORT NETWORK command to assign users to backplane
(hub-level) segments or isolated (module-level) segments. For instance,
to create a module-level ring, you must assign all of the users in the
group to one isolated network (for example, ISOLATED_1).
Enabling Ports
Use the SET PORT MODE command to enable or disable each of the
ports on the media module. When a port is enabled, it can transmit to
and receive data from the network to which the module port is
assigned.
The command sequence is:
SET PORT
{
slot.port}
MODE {
enable
} {
disable
}
{
slot.all}
Use the SET PORT command to disable a port (port 2 on the module in
slot 6):
set port 6.2 mode disable
Enabling Beacon
Recovery
Use the SET NETWORK TOKEN_RING BCN_RECOVERY command to
enable or disable the beacon recovery mechanism on a
CoreBuilder 5000 network. The default is enabled.
The command sequence is:
SET NETWORK TOKEN_RING {
network
} BCN_RECOVERY {
mode
}
Where:
network = token_ring_1 - token_ring_10
isolated slot
isolated_1 slot - isolated _11 slot
mode = enable
disable
The following command enables the beacon recovery mechanism for
backplane network token_ring_3:
CB5000> set network token_ring token_ring_3 bcn_recovery
enable
Value set to ENABLED.
