FNB Resource Conﬁguration Codes

The 9T122-08 Token Ring MicroLAN Switch Extension Module provides

connectivity between one of three interfaces: the front panel Token Ring

interface(s) and the FDDI rings on the backplane (FNB-1 or FNB-2).

The FNB Resource ConÞguration Screen allows you to connect the moduleÕs front

panel Token Ring interfaces to one of the chassisÕ two FDDI networks (FNB-1 or

FNB-2) via a bridge/switch.

The FNB Resource ConÞguration Screen lists all the possible connections that the

speciÞed module can support on the FNB, displays the current connection, and

allows you to change the connection. Table 2 lists and describes the FDDI

Connections from which you can select.

9T122-08 Module Speciﬁc Information

General Conﬁguration Screen Fields

The following information brießy explains each General ConÞguration Screen

Þeld.

Module Serial #

Displays the serial number of the selected module.

Module Board Revision

Displays the version number of the selected module.

FLASH Memory

Displays the amount (megabytes) of ßash memory in the selected module.

Module Date

Contains a value that the module recognizes as the current date. To enter a new

date, highlight the Þeld and enter the date in MM/DD/YYYY format. The month

and day portion of the date must include two digits. Therefore, enter a leading

zero for months January through September, and for dates less than 10. For

example, for June 4, 1996, enter 06/04/1996 (slashes are optional). If you do not

enter slashes to separate the month, day, and year values, the Þrst eight digits you

enter in this Þeld represent an entry (i.e., 06041996).

ModuleTime

Contains a value that the module recognizes as the current time. To enter a new

time, highlight the Þeld and enter the time in HH:MM:SS format. Notice that

there is no AM/PM indicator. Time should be entered based upon a 24 hour clock.

For 4:07 p.m., enter 16:07:00 (colons are optional). If you do not enter colons to

separate the hours, minutes, and seconds values, the Þrst six digits you enter in

this Þeld represent an entry (i.e., 160700). For 6:12 a.m., enter 6:12:00 or 061200.

Screen RefreshTime

Contains the rate at which the moduleÕs screens are updated. This setting

determines how frequently (in seconds) information is updated on the screen. To

enter a new refresh rate, highlight the Þeld and enter a number. The

default

refresh rate is 3 seconds. The

range

is 3 - 99 seconds.

The moduleÕs default date and time settings are indeterminate. The internal

calendar and clock begin running as soon as you install the module.

NOTE

9T122-08 Module Speciﬁc Information

Screen LockoutTime

Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management

application will display a moduleÕs screen while pending input or action from a

user. For example, if you enter 5 in this Þeld, users will have up to Þve minutes to

respond in some fashion to each of the speciÞed moduleÕs Local Management

screens. In our example, after Þve minutes of ÒidlenessÓ (no input or action), the

Local Management application terminates the session on the selected module and

the Slot Selection Screen reappears. To enter a new lockout time, highlight the

Þeld and enter a number. The

default

lockout time is 15 minutes. The

range

is 1 -

30 minutes.

Host IP Address

Contains the Internet Protocol address currently assigned to the selected module.

Set this Þeld according to your network requirements. Highlight the Host IP

Address Þeld and enter the desired IP address using dotted decimal notation (4

decimal values between 1 and 255 separated by periods) as follows:

255.255.255.255

(255 is the maximum number that you can enter in any of the four segments.

Default = 0.0.0.0 .) This address can be used by any of the system interfaces on the

module.

Subnet Mask

Contains the subnet mask for the selected module. A subnet mask Òmasks outÓ

the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the

network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the network or

subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identiÞes the host. The

default subnet mask uses the Þrst two portions of the IP address to identify the

network id, leaving the rest of the IP address to identify speciÞc nodes. To enter a

new subnet mask, highlight the Þeld and enter a new value using dotted decimal

notation (4 decimal values between 1 and 255 separated by periods) as follows:

255.255.255.255

(The Subnet Mask Þeld defaults to the natural mask value, based on the IP

Address that you entered for the device.)

Default Gateway

Contains the IP Address of the device to which all packets addressed to an

unknown network or host are sent. If you do not conÞgure a Default Gateway,

any packets that are addressed to an unknown network or host will be dropped.

This Þeld is not deÞned until you enter an appropriate value using dotted

decimal notation (4 decimal values between 1 and 255 separated by periods).

9T122-08 Module Speciﬁc Information

Default Interface (Toggle)

Contains the number that represents the interface that is connected to the

moduleÕs Default Gateway. In some instances, dissimilar modules have different

corresponding interface numbers. For example, if you are assigning a default

interface to a 9T122-08 module and you enter a 3, then the default interface is the

Flexible Network Bus. However, if you are assigning a default interface to a

9F310-02 module and you enter a 3, then the default interface is the Internal

Network Bus. See Table 1 for module-speciÞc interface information. The

default

is NONE, meaning no default interface selected.

Base MAC Address

Displays the MAC Address of the selected module. This is the MAC Address of

the SMB-10 interface.

TFTP Gateway IP

The IP address of the router that connects to or is closest to the module. ConÞgure

this address when you are performing TFTP downloads in a routed environment

(if proxy ARP is disabled on the router).

The Default Interface Þeld becomes active after you enter an IP address in the

Default Gateway Þeld.

Bridge Conﬁguration Screen Fields (Screen 1)

The following information brießy explains each Bridge ConÞguration Screen 1

Þeld.

Bridge Address

Displays the MAC Address of the bridge.

Bridging Interfaces

Displays the total number of bridging interfaces on the selected module.

Bridge Number

Allows you to enter a hexadecimal number that uniquely identiÞes a bridge when

more than one bridge is used to span the same two segments. Valid bridge

numbers range from 01 to 0F (15).

Type of STA (Toggle)

Allows you to set the method that bridges use to decide which bridge is the

controlling (Root) bridge when two or more bridges exist in parallel (Spanning

Tree Algorithm). Valid entries include IEEE and None. Press the

Space Bar

toggle to the desired value.

Bridge Priority Label

Allows you to enter a hexadecimal number that identiÞes the write-able portion

of the Bridge ID, i.e. the Þrst two octets of the Bridge ID. Valid bridge priority

labels range from 0000 to FFFF.

Novell Xlat

(Toggle)

Novell translation, which converts MAC addresses in most signiÞcant bit (MSB)

format to least signiÞcant bit (LSB). Valid choices are:

¥ NONE (

default

) - No translation performed for Novell IPX/SPX packets.

¥ DLC - Translation performed within the data link control layer for Novell

IPX/SPX packets (provides MSB-to-LSB MAC address conversion).

¥ LLC - Translation performed within the Logical Link Control layer for Novell

IPX/SPX packets (provides MSB-to-LSB conversion compatible with the 9T122

method).

All bridges in a network must use the same Spanning Tree protocol. The IEEE

protocol has a unique format for its Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU). Trying

to mix STA protocols results in an unstable network.
