Ring Bypassing
With port switching MIMs (e.g., TRXMIM) bypassing may also be
performed on a per-ring basis. For example, a MIM’s Ring 3 channel may
be bypassed (i.e., isolated) from the FNB while the MIM’s Ring 1,
Ring 2, and Ring 4 rings remain connected to their respective FNB
channels. This is called a ring bypass. If all channels are bypassed from
the FNB, the module is effectively in full module bypass.
Port Disabling
You can disable any port on any MIM in the MMAC, thus preventing any
device from using that port.
1.1.7 STATION Port Interface
The STATION port interface can be used as the management interface to
any of the rings that are isolated from FNB Ring 1 within the host MMAC
simply by connecting the interface cable to a MIMs lobe port. Because
the STATION port interface cable is movable, it can also be used to
monitor operational conditions on Token Rings outside the host MMAC.
≈
The STATION port interface can also:
•
Serve as a data connection for in-band communications with the
TRMM-2 (e.g., Telnet, remote management communications, TFTP
downloads).
•
Provide side-band management of the ring monitored by the FNB
interface.
See
Section 2.6
, for details on connecting a lobe cable to the STATION
port interface. See Appendix B for operational information on the
STATION port interface.
1.1.8 Ring Speed Assignments
The TRMM-2 assigns FNB ring speed settings (4 Mbps or 16 Mbps).
This sets the interface between MIMs and FNB rings. See
Section 2.2
for
details about the interaction of MIMs and the TRMM-2. The TRMM-2
can also set the speed of auxiliary rings through the Management
Information Base (MIB).
