The BackPlane Configuration View
To alter its backplane attachment:
1.

FNB-1 or FNB-2 in the middle of the 9E133-36 module front panel display.
The FNB Configuration window (Figure 3-7) will appear.

2.
The FNB Configuration window represents FNB-1 and FNB-2 by means of
color-coded rings. FNB-1 displays at the top of the window. Its primary ring is
color-coded in blue; its secondary in green. Likewise, FNB-2’s rings (at the
bottom of the window) are color-coded — magenta for primary and yellow for
secondary.
If the 9E133-36 is currently connected to the FNB, a dual line will display from
the bridge/route interface to either FNB-1 (primary and secondary) or FNB-2
(primary and secondary), with its MAC on either the primary or secondary
path of the selected FNB. If the 9E133-36 is isolated from the backplane, no
connecting lines will appear.
To change the connection from the 9E133-36 to the backplane:
a.
Click the left mouse button on the Bridge Interface 1 field. A pull-down
menu will appear.
b.
Drag down and to the right to select Connect FNB1 —> MAC on
Primary or MAC on Secondary, Connect FNB2 —> MAC on Primary
or MAC on Secondary, or Disconnect. The ring connections will change
corresponding to your selection.
c.
Click on Apply to set the changes at the 9E133-36, or click Reset to
restore the last applied configuration. If you apply changes, the interface
on the 9E133-36 will switch to the selected configuration.
