Management Functionality In The MMAC
When configured for operation as a combination Bridge/Management
module and installed in any MIM slot in the MMAC, the TRBMIM-T
automatically bisects the FNB backplane. This creates a new FNB ring,
supporting Token Ring stations connected to the media interface modules
inserted to the left of the TRBMIM-T.
The TRBMIM-T manages the new ring in conjunction with the
master-management module (Ethernet or Token Ring) installed in the
MMAC management slot. Token Ring management module functions
include:
•
Collecting ring statistics
•
Supporting in-band and out-of-band network management
•
Sending traps and alarms to Network Management Stations
•
Recovering from beaconing conditions
•
Controlling modules and ports on the ring
•
Maintaining ring and management security
See Section 2.5.1 for information about using dip switches on the
TRBMIM-T component board to specify the Bridge/Management mode
and other operational settings for the TRBMIM-T. See the
TRBMIM/TRBMIM-T Local Management User’s Guide
for
information on managing Token Ring MIMs under TRBMIM-T control.
Figure 1-5 illustrates how the TRBMIM-T in the Bridge/Management
mode can be used to bisect the MMAC FNB backplane and create an
additional FNB ring. The TRMM, installed in the management slot,
manages Ring 1 and the TRBMIM-T, installed in a MIM slot, manages
Ring 2.
