Refer also to the TRMM-2 Local Management User’s Guide for details
on the execution of port assignment within an MMAC through the Local
Management application.
1.1.5 Segmenting The FNB For Additional Rings
FNB segmentation or “ring-wrapping” is another means of creating
additional Token Rings in the MMAC. In the MMAC each Token Ring
MIM connects to adjacent MIMs, forming continuous FNB rings
extending from the first Token Ring MIM to the last.
You can wrap the FNB interfaces of a single ring MIM
(e.g., TRMIM-24A) breaking the backplane and segmenting the FNB.
This is sometimes called ring wrapping. For example, the FNB shown in
Figure 1-4 has been segmented between the MMAC’s Slots 5 and 6. The
resulting segmented portions of the FNB remain fully functional, but they
do not communicate with each other. Thus, you can increase the number
of Token Ring LANs operating in the MMAC by segmenting the FNB.
