1.3 TOKEN RING MANAGEMENT MODULES

Both Cabletron Systems’ TRMM and TRMMIM Token Ring Management Modules are IEEE 802.5 compliant, IBM compatible, and support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Both are designed to be installed into a Cabletron Systems Multi Media Access Center (MMAC™).

1-2

INTRODUCTION

The TRMM resides in the management (first) slot of the MMAC chassis. It is designed to manage a full chassis of token ring interface modules.

The TRMMIM also provides the same management functions as the TRMM to an additional ring from any mid-chassis slot. Both modules can be used with other Cabletron modules to support a range of Token Ring and mixed Token Ring and Ethernet configurations in the same MMAC hub.

Each module has an externally accessible EIA, RS232 COM 2/Console port which supports LM access via Telnet, a Digital Equipment Corporation VT200™ or VT300™ series terminal (or emulating terminal), and a modem-to-terminal configuration. Each module’s COM 1 port (on older modules, the port labeled Modem) also supports Uninterruptible Power Supply device monitoring via Cabletron remote management applications (i.e., LANVIEW, SPECTRUM).

Local Management provides the tools to manage the TRMM/TRMMIM and all of their attached segments. You can change factory defaults, configure ring networks via the FNB backplane, enable/disable ports, and view network statistics. Other features of Local Management allow you to:

• Assign an IP address and a subnet mask.

• Provide network security by controlling access to the ring. You can prevent unauthorized stations from inserting into the ring.

• Control password access to the TRMM/TRMMIM.

• Designate which Network Management Stations receive trap alarms from the device.

• View the MIB components supported by your TRMM/TRMMIM.

• Navigate through the TRMM/TRMMIM’s Management Information Bases (MIB) and manage the objects within it from a remote location, given the appropriate security level.

• Assign an IP address to a router with Proxy-ARP disabled used for firmware downloads.

Figure 2-4. Option to Disconnect Current User Screen

However, the first user disconnected since the TRMM/TRMMIM has been reset will receive an invitation to reconnect only once. If the first user who was disconnected bumps the other user out to reconnect and then gets bumped out again, the first user will have to first re-attach the management terminal to the module to become eligible to reconnect to LM.

If a third user attempts to access LM while a second user is already negotiating for a session, the third user will simply be refused connection.

CHAPTER 3

USING LOCAL MANAGEMENT

This chapter describes how to work with LM screen fields. It also discusses the function of each available selection from the MAIN MENU Screen.

3.1 WORKING WITH LM SCREEN FIELDS

LM screens contain the following types of fields:

• Editable

select from available discrete values.

• Command

changes to memory, exiting a screen, viewing another screen, and so on.

• Static

structure, identification, or context for the screens and the fields within them.

An active editable field is always set in boldface, and additionally, those enclosed in parentheses or brackets indicate fields that offer selections. Use the following steps to alter editable fields:

1. Move the cursor to the desired field in the window using the Up, Left,

Right, or Down Arrow keys, as applicable, to highlight the field. The cursor flashes in reverse video to indicate the selected field.

2. Type the new value into the field or use the spacebar to select (or

toggle) from values available from the field. The old value will be replaced.

: These fields allow you to either type in a discrete value or

: These fields initiate executable functions such as saving

: These fields cannot be modified and serve only to provide

Incorrect entries (e.g., field value exceeded) are blocked and the field remains at its original value.

3. Press the Enter key. The new value will be entered into the field.
