9F426-02 Module Specific Information

Introduction

This appendix contains local management information that is specific to the 9F426-02 FDDI Switch Module.

Module Interfaces

The 9F426-02 FDDI Switch Module has seven interfaces. Table 1 lists the identifying number, name, and description of each interface.

FNB Configuration
The FNB Configuration Menu (Figure 1) contains menu selections that allow you to configure the attachment of an FDDI Switch Module to the Flexible Network Buses on the chassis’ backplane, and to display an illustration that shows the topology of the FNB’s FDDI rings connected to that module.
In earlier versions of SmartSwitch 9000 Module Local Management, the FNB

FNB Resource Configuration
The 9F426-02 FDDI Switch Module is capable of bridging/switching any three, of five possible interfaces, depending on the way you configure the module. The module’s INB connection is fixed (not user-configured).
The FNB Resource Configuration Screen (Figure 2) allows you to connect both front panel ports, both FNB ports, or one front panel and one FNB port to the bridge/switch. Redirecting one or both of the module’s front panel FDDI interfaces to the FNB backplane creates an INB to FNB bridge/switch product that allows migration from FNB modules to INB modules.
The SmartSwitch 9000 FNB backplane is composed of two FDDI Networks (FNB­1 and FNB-2). The FNB Resource Configuration Screen lists all possible connections a module can support on the FNB, displays the current connection, and allows you to change the connection.
