Introduction
Chapter 1
What Is in This Chapter
This chapter describes the SPECTRUM Management Module for the
TSX-1620 Token Ring Switch. It also provides the model type name assigned
to the TSX-1620 in SPECTRUM.
TSX-1620 Token Ring Switch
The TSX-1620 is a standalone Token Ring switch that can be conÞgured to
support 8 or 16 Token Ring switch ports. The TSX-1620 provides server
centralization while maintaining logical server dedication to a speciÞc ring.
Additionally, the TSX-1620 offers a redundant load-sharing power supply, and
full wire speed performance with the capabilities and versatility of either a
workgroup or backbone switch.
The TSX-1620 Management Module includes a software emulation of the
actual device attributes and functionality. The TSX-1620 Management
Module Guide provides all the information necessary to manage the
TSX-1620 using SPECTRUM.
The TSX-1620 Management Module supports one model type, TSX1620, used
to represent the physical TSX-1620, the supported applications, and the
interfaces. The following chapters provide a description of the model and its
relationship to the views in SPECTRUM.

Applications, and Miscellaneous Applications references.
¥ Bridging
- Gen Bridge (Gen_Bridge_App)
- Source Routing (rfc1525App)
- Spanning Tree (Span_Tree_App)
- Static (Static_App)
- Transparent (Transparnt_App)
¥ MIB-II (SNMP2_Agent)
- System (System2_App)
- ICMP (ICMP_App)
- IP (IP2_App)
- UDP (UDP2_App)
Device-speciÞc applications and sub-applications are described in Chapter 5,
Application View , and are listed below.

Logical Interface Icons
The TSX-1620 Interface Device view displays a logical representation of the
device's interfaces. A Logical Interface Icon represents each port on the
TSX-1620 device. Additional views for the interface can be accessed by
single-clicking on the interface icon to highlight it and then selecting the Icon
Subviews option from the View menu, or by double-clicking each icon zone.
The Port Notes facility is also accessed from the Icon Subviews menu.
The Logical Interface Icon consists of six zones, providing conÞguration and
performance information. Figure 2-2 provides a detailed illustration of the
Logical Interface Icon and the following sections provide further information
about each icon zone.

The Network Information area of the Interface Options Panel allows you to
select what interface information is displayed in the Network Information
Label of that interfaceÕs Logical Interface Icon. Possible selections are
ADDRESS, NAME, or MASK.

Token Ring If Application
The following views provide Token Ring statistics for the Token Ring If
application.
Token Ring Station Detail View
Access this view through the Station Detail button in the Token Ring Station
Table view. The Token Ring Station Detail view provides detailed information
on the selected station. This view includes three color-coded pie charts
presenting a breakdown of token ring application statistics. Each statistic is
presented as a total amount since the module was initialized and as a
percentage of overall trafÞc. Table 5-1, Table 5-2, and Table 5-3 provide
information on the statistics displayed by the pie charts. This view also
provides informational Þelds, which are described below.
Station Address
Displays the MAC (physical) address of the station.
ConÞgure Station Alarms
Opens the Token Ring Station Alarms ConÞguration view, which allows you to
change the threshold value and state of the station for the Line, Burst, A/C,
Internal, and Receive Congestion errors.
Token Ring If Application
Transmitted Beacon Count
The number of times this interface has transmitted a beacon frame.
Remove Ring Station Count
The number of times the interface has received a Remove Ring Station MAC
frame request. When this frame is received the interface will enter the close
state and dot5RingState will signify this condition.
Single Station Count
The number of times the interface has sensed that it is the only station on the
ring. This will happen if the interface is the Þrst one up on a ring, or if there is
a hardware problem.
Soft Error Count
The number of Soft Errors the interface has detected. It directly corresponds
to the number of Report Error MAC frames this interface has transmitted.
Soft Errors are those which are recoverable by the MAC layer protocols.
Hard Error Count
The number of times this interface has detected an immediately recoverable
fatal error. It denotes the number of times this interface is either transmitting
or receiving beacon MAC frames.

dot5RingState will signify this condition.
Statistic DeÞnition
Line Incremented when a frame or token is copied by a station, the E
bit is zero in the frame or token, and a non-data bit (J or K bit)
between the SD and the ED of the frame or token, or there is an
FCS error in the frame. It represents the total number of line
errors that have occurred on this ring.
Burst This counter is incremented when a station detects the absence
of transitions for Þve half-bit timers (burst-Þve error). Burst
represents the total number of burst errors that have occurred
on this ring.
A/C The total number of address/copied errors that have occurred on
this ring. This counter is incremented when a station receives an
AMP or SMP frame and denotes a station that cannot set the AC
bits properly.

Statistic DeÞnition
Lost Frames The total number of times a Token Ring Rotation (TRR) station
timer expired while trying to transmit.
Congestions The total number of times a station recognizes a frame
addressed to it, but the station has no available buffer space.
Frame Copied The total number of times a station recognizes a frame
addressed to it, and detects that the FS Þeld A bits are set to 1.

addressed to its speciÞc address, but has no available buffer
space indicating that the station is congested.
Token The total number of times the station acting as active monitor
recognizes an error condition requiring a token be transmitted.
Port Pair Application (Dot1dPtPairApp)
The following information is available for the Port Pair Application.
Bridge Port Pair Table
Access this table from the Port Pair App icon in the Application view. Select
Bridge Port Pair Table from the Icon Subviews menu. The resulting table
view, Dot1d Bridge Port Pair Information table, provides the following
information:
Total Ports
The total number of ports available for the device.
MAC Address
The physical address of the interface.
Bridge Type
The bridge type for this interface is Source Route Transparent (SRT).
Low Port
The port number of the lower numbered port for which this entry contains
port pair database information.
High Port
The port number of the higher numbered port for which this entry contains
port pair database information.
Bridge Number
The bridge number that uniquely identiÞes the path provided by this source
routing bridge between the segments connected to dot1dPortLowPort and
dot1dPortPairHighPort. The purpose of bridge number is to disambiguate
between multiple paths connecting the same two LANs.
Bridge Status
The status of the bridge; Enabled or Disabled.
