Chapter 1 Introduction 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.
TSX-1620 Management Module Applications TSX-1620 Management Module Applications SPECTRUM management of the TSX-1620 is based on common and device-speciÞc applications. The following common applications and sub-applications are discussed in the MIB II Applications, Bridging Applications, and Miscellaneous Applications references.
SPMA and the TSX-1620 SPMA and the TSX-1620 SPECTRUM also supports SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) functionality for the TSX-1620. To open the SPMA Application view from any SPECTRUM view, do the following: 1. Highlight the Device icon. 2. From the View menu, select Icon Subviews -> Utilities -> Applications. The Application view provides buttons to select SPMA-speciÞc views and dialog boxes. Figure 1-1 shows an example of an SPMA Applications view. Figure 1-1.
SPMA and the TSX-1620 For details on the following SPMA views refer to the SPECTRUM Portable Management Application Tools Guide. Generic SNMP (MIB I II) Chapter 2, Using the MIB I, MIB II Tool, explains how to use this tool to view and change MIB I and MIB II object ID values.
Chapter 2 Device Views What Is in This Chapter This chapter describes the Device views available for the TSX-1620 Management Module and includes representations of the modules, ports, and interfaces. It also describes any subviews available.
Accessing the Logical or Interface Device Views Accessing the Logical or Interface Device Views The Device view is accessed using one of the following methods: ¥ Double-click on the Device view button of the TSX-1620 module icon. This opens the Device view that was opened last (i.e. Logical or Interface). Device View Button ¥ Highlight the TSX-1620 device icon and select Device -> Logical or Interface from the Icon Subviews menu.
Logical Device View Logical Device View The Logical Device view for the TSX-1620 in SPECTRUM is a SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) view. Refer to the SPECTRUM Portable Management Application for the TSX-1620 UserÕs Guide for details on using the Device view to manage your TSX-1620. Interface Device View Access the Interface Device view using one of the methods described previously in this chapter. Figure 2-1 provides an example of a TSX-1620 Interface Device view.
Interface Device View Figure 2-1. TSX-1620 Interface Device View 118.
Interface Device View Logical Interface Icons 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.
Interface Device View Logical Interface Icons Interface Number Label/Device Topology View This label displays the interface number identifying this interface. Double-clicking on this label accesses the TSX-1620 Device Topology (DevTop) view. Administrative Status Label/IF Status View Provides access to conÞguration views speciÞc to the port. Double-clicking on this label of the Interface icon accesses the TSX-1620 Interface Status view.
Interface Device View Logical Interface Icons Last Change The System UpTime value when the interface entered its current operational state. This is provided in the format: D + HH:MM:SS, for example, 1+20:40:25 if the TSX-1620 has been active for one day and 20 hours, 40 minutes and 25 seconds. Network Name/Address The IP Address assigned to the TSX-1620. Physical Address The Ethernet (MAC) address of the interface. Bandwidth The estimated bandwidth of the interface measured in bits per second.
Interface Device View Interface Options Panel Logical Gauge Label/Performance View This label on the Logical Interface Icon (see Figure 2-2) accesses the Performance view for the interface. The Performance view is a multi-line graph and provides routing information (trafÞc ßow) in packets, as described below. This area is also a Logical Gauge which is described later in this chapter. Multi-Attribute Line Graph The Multi-Attribute Line Graph provides a general indication of routing activity.

Chapter 3 ConÞguration Views What Is in This Chapter This chapter provides a description of the ConÞguration views for the TSX-1620. These views allow you to access device and interface speciÞc conÞguration information, as well as trafÞc ßow and error rates. The following conÞguration views are available for the TSX-1620 management module. ¥ Device ConÞguration ¥ Interface ConÞguration The Interface ConÞguration view is a sub-view of the Device ConÞguration view.
Device ConÞguration View ¥ Highlight the device icon and select ConÞguration from the Icon Subviews menu. Go Back Go Up Icon Subviews view Path New view Bookmarks view History Current view Info... Notes... Jump by name... Zoom Map Hierarchy Close Navigate Alarms Performance Notes... Utilities Zoom Device Configuration Device ConÞguration View The Device ConÞguration view for the TSX-1620 provides detailed information on the TSX-1620Õs network, host, port, and model conÞguration.
Device ConÞguration View Network Address The network address for the interface. ReconÞgure This button allows you to reconÞgure the device. When the reconÞguration is complete, the ÒAction SuccessfulÓ dialog box appears. Interface ConÞguration Table The Interface ConÞguration Table provides port conÞguration information for each of the TSX-1620Õs ports. The Interface ConÞguration Table and its corresponding entry-speciÞc views provide the following information: Index The port number on the TSX-1620.
Interface ConÞguration View Last Change The System UpTime value when the port entered its current operational state. Queue Length The length of the outbound queue of packets. Packet Size The largest Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) that can be transmitted or received by the port, measured in octets. Double-clicking on any column entry for a particular port accesses the Interface ConÞguration view. This view is described below.
Chapter 4 Event and Alarm Messages What Is in This Chapter This chapter describes the types of events and alarms generated by the TSX1620. TSX-1620 Events and Alarms Table 4-1 describes the event messages appearing in the Event Log, and any corresponding probable cause messages that may be displayed in the Enterprise Alarm Manager view for the TSX-1620.

Chapter 5 Application View What Is in This Chapter This chapter describes the TSX-1620 Management Module Application view. The Application view allows the user to view information for the applications supported by the TSX-1620. Each application appears as an icon in the Application view; each icon provides access to sub-views with detailed network information. TSX-1620 Device-SpeciÞc Applications SPECTRUM management of the TSX-1620 is based on common and device-speciÞc applications and sub-applications.
Accessing the Application View The TSX-1620 supports the following device-speciÞc applications, which are described in this chapter: ¥ Token Ring (TokenRingApp) - Token Ring If (TRIfApp_0#) ¥ Port Pair App (Dot1dPtPairApp) Figure 5-1 provides an example of a partial TSX-1620 Application view.
