FDDI Applications

6-2 Concentrator Conﬁguration

¥ Station List Ñ With this window you can see the conÞguration of the ring on

which the SMT entity resides, including number of nodes, node addresses

(both Canonical and MAC), node class, and current ring topology

¥ Performance Ñ This window lets you view the number of frames transmitted

and received on the ring as detected by the selected SMT entity, along with

error and lost frames, and the number of ring initializations.

¥ FDDI Statistics Ñ This window allows you to view various trafÞc-related

statistics for each SMT entity present on the device.

To access FDDI information (except FDDI Statistics):

1. In the Chassis View window, click on the FDDI menu option to display the

FDDI menu. Select the Station Management (SMT) entity that you want to

monitor to reveal the following FDDI menu (Figure 6-1).
