FDDI Applications

Concentrator conﬁguration; connection policy; station list; concentrator performance; FDDI statistics;

frame translation

The FDDI menu lets you access windows to view a SmartSwitch 6000Õs FDDI

conÞguration, connection policy, station list, and performance with respect to

each Station Management (SMT) entity present on an installed HSIM-F6 High

Speed Interface Module. You can also conÞgure your moduleÕs frame translation

settings using the Frame Translation window.

The Chassis view for a SmartSwitch 2000 with an installed HSIM-F6 will also offer

a FDDI Statistics window, which can be launched from the Device menu.

SMT provides the system management services for the FDDI protocols, including

connection management, node conÞguration, error recovery, statistics collecting,

and management frame encoding. SMT is comprised of various subcomponent

functions, including Connection Management (CMT) and Ring Management

(RMT); one SMT entity will be present for the ring connected to the HSIM-F6.

The windows that provide information about the FDDI ring connected to the

SmartSwitch are:

¥ ConÞguration Ñ This window displays the current conÞguration and status

of the ring associated with the selected SMT entity.

¥ Connection Policy Ñ This window shows the types of connections between

the four FDDI PHY (port) types Ñ A, B, M, and S Ñ that will be allowed by the

SMT entity.

NOTE

The FDDI menu and associated management windows will only appear if you have an

HSIM-F6 installed in an Ethernet SmartSwitch.
