1.4 TRBMIM-T OVERVIEW
The TRBMIM-T is two-port source-route bridge with management
capabilities. The two TRBMIM-T bridge ports are described as follows:
•
The FNB backplane connector on the TRBMIM-T component board
interfaces with the FNB ring in the MMAC.
•
The media-configurable Station port on the front panel interfaces with
another ring
via cable connection
to any lobe port on another ring,
regardless of whether the other ring is configured in the same MMAC
where the TRBMIM-T is installed or supported by another MMAC or
standalone hub. See Chapter 4 for information on how to set up the
bridge Station port and establish the physical bridge connection
between rings.
You can configure the TRBMIM-T to operate either as a dedicated
source-route bridge for linking Token Ring networks or as a combination
bridge and ring management module for both bridging and ring
management. It installs into any of the Media Interface Module (MIM)
slots of the following Cabletron Systems line of Multi Media Access
Centers:
•
MMAC-M3FNB/-3FNB
•
MMAC-M5FNB/-5FNB
•
MMAC-M8FNB/-8FNB
See Chapter 2 for more information about MMAC requirements.
