FNB Resource Configuration Codes
The 9E106-06 Ethernet Module provides connectivity between seven interfaces: the six front panel Ethernet interfaces and the FDDI rings on the backplane (FNB­1 or FNB-2).
The FNB Resource Configuration Screen allows you to connect the module’s front panel Ethernet interfaces to one of the chassis’ two FDDI networks (FNB-1 or FNB-2) via a bridge/switch.
The FNB Resource Configuration Screen lists all the possible connections that the specified 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.

Description
Neither the FNB-1 nor the FNB-2 on the chassis’ backplane is connected to the module’s bridge/switch.
The FNB-1 on the chassis’ backplane and the module’s Ethernet interface(s) are connected to the same bridge/switch.
The FNB-2 on the chassis’ backplane and the module’s Ethernet interface(s) are connected to the same bridge/switch.

Interface Statistics Screen Fields
The following information briefly explains each Interface Statistics Screen field.
INTERFACE (Toggle)
Allows you to select the interface you want to monitor.
IN OCTETS (Read-only)
Displays the number of octets (bytes) received by this interface.
IN UNICAST PKTS (Read-only)
Displays the number of unicast packets (packets destined for one specific address) received by this interface.
IN NONUCAST PKTS (Read-only)
Displays the number of non-unicast packets (multicast and broadcast packets, in other words, packets destined for more than one address) received by this interface.
IN DISCARDS (Read-only)
Displays the total number of packets discarded by this interface due to a lack of available resources.
IN ERRORS (Read-only)
Displays the total number of errors received on this interface. The number displayed is composed of one of the following errors:
• Out of Window (OOW) Collision, which is one of the following:
• A collision caused by a station on the network violating Carrier Sense and transmitting at will
• A cable failure occurring during the transmission of a frame
• A network propagation delay greater than 51.2 ms
• Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Errors - Errors in the 4-byte CRC field of a frame that ensures that the data received by the module is the same as the data transmitted by the originating device.
• Alignment Errors - Alignment errors are frames that are misaligned (in other words, frames that contain a non-integral number of bytes).
• Runt Packets - Runt packets are packets that are smaller than the minimum Ethernet frame size of 64 bytes, not including preamble.
• Giant Packets - Giant packets are packets that are larger than the maximum Ethernet frame size of 1,518 bytes, not including preamble.

OUT UNICAST PKTS (Read-only)
Displays the number of unicast packets (packets destined for one specific address) transmitted by this interface.
OUT NONUCAST PKTS (Read-only)
Displays the number of non-unicast packets (multicast and broadcast packets, in other words, packets destined for more than one address) transmitted by this interface.
OUT DISCARDS (Read-only)
Displays the total number of packets discarded by this interface due to lack of available resources.
OUT ERRORS (Read-only)
Displays the total number of errors for the interface.
Clearing All Statistical Counters
Local Management will not ask you for verification before clearing the statistical
!
CAUTION
counters. Make sure you understand the implications of clearing all statistical counters.
To clear all statistical counters:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the CLEAR COUNTERS command.
2. Press the Enter key.
All counters will be reset to zero and then updated after the current update frequency has passed.
Selecting Another Update Frequency
To select another update frequency:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the UPDATE-FREQ command.
2. Press [=] or [-] until the desired value appears.
3. Press the Enter key.

Selecting Another Interface
To select another interface:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight any one of the INTERFACE fields at the top of the Interface Statistics Screen.
2. Press SHIFT and [=] or [-] until the desired value appears.
3. Press the Enter key.
Statistics associated with the selected interface appear.

Port Redirect Function Screen
The 9E106-06 Port Redirect Function Screen (Figure 2),, allows you to set each one of the ports as a source or destination port. You can set a port to have one or more destination ports. For example, you can set port 1 as a source port with three destinations: ports 2, 3, and 4. Traffic from port 1 is then automatically redirected to ports 2, 3, and 4. Port 1 can also serve as a destination port for other ports.
There can be more than one Port Redirect Function screen depending on the number of port redirect entries. Each screen displays up to 10 port redirect entries. If there is more than one screen of redirect entries, the NEXT and/or PREVIOUS command is displayed at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to navigate to either the next or previous screen.
For example, with three screens of entries, the NEXT command displays at the bottom of the first screen. In the second screen, the NEXT and PREVIOUS commands are displayed. In the last screen, only the PREVIOUS command is displayed.

Adding and Deleting Source and Destination Port Entries
To add or delete source port and destination port entries:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Source Port [ x] field.
2. Press the Space Bar to increment (press the Backspace key to decrement) the port number displayed in the brackets [ x] until the appropriate port number is displayed.

6. Use the Space Bar to select either the [ADD] or [DEL] option, then press the
Enter key.
This adds or deletes the port selections made in steps 2 through 4, and also updates the Source Port and Destination Port list.
To redirect another port, repeat steps 1 through 6, then go to step 7 to save all the new settings at once.
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE at the bottom of the screen, then press
the Enter key.
The message “SAVED OK” is displayed. This saves the new settings and updates the Source Port and Destination Port read-only fields.
