INTRODUCTION TO MULTIPLE-RING MMAC FUNCTIONALITY
A-5
A.4.2 Auxiliary Rings
Each port switching MIM has two auxiliary rings. These rings never
communicate with FNB rings, unless through an external device such as a
switch or router. A station on an auxiliary ring can only communicate
with stations attached to the same MIM and assigned to the same
auxiliary ring. Auxiliary rings are useful to provide a dedicated ring for
the transfer of large amounts of data, as occurs when “backing up”
servers.
A.4.3 Bypassed Rings
A management module can bypass (prevent communication among) any
port switching MIM from any or all of the FNB rings. Any station
connected to a bypassed ring will not communicate with FNB rings
(it can however communicate with other stations on that bypassed ring).
For example, stations attached to Ring 2 on a bypassed MIM will not
communicate with stations on MIMs inserted into FNB Ring 2.
