Modeling the SynOptics Series 5000 Hub SynOptics Series 5000 Icons Device Icons The physical hub device model is represented by both small and large device icons. These icons are created with the HubSyn5xxx model type. Once the device icon is created, icons representing the device’s interfaces, NMM agent, and application models are created automatically. Small Device Icons The small device icon represents the physical hub device within a Topology view.
Modeling the SynOptics Series 5000 Hub SynOptics Series 5000 Icons • The Edit -> New Model By IP... option which uses SPECTRUM default icon parameters. • A device icon can also be created using AutoDiscovery (see the AutoDiscovery User’s Guide). In order for SPECTRUM to properly model the SynOptics Series 5000 hub, it must locate, identify, and model all active NMM Agents. For this to be accomplished, provide SPECTRUM with the community names for all of the active NMM Agents.
Modeling the SynOptics Series 5000 Hub Setting Up the Network Topology NMM Agent DCE Icons For Ethernet and Token Ring NMM models, there are corresponding Data Collection Engine (DCE) models which represent network interfaces that are used to collect data and statistics from the backplanes.

Appendix C FDDI Modules What Is in This Appendix This appendix describes the generic views available from the Device view for SynOptics FDDI modules. These views allow access to network configuration information and traffic flow, error data, and statistics for FDDI modules installed in the SynOptics Series 5000 hub.
FDDI Modules and Their Configurations FDDI Modules and Their Configurations SynOptics 5000 provides four FDDI modules: 5910S, the intelligent module discussed earlier in the document, and the 5905, 5902, and 5904 modules. The FDDI modules provide connectivity to the SynOptics 5000 hub backplane. Table C-1 shows the configurations for the available FDDI modules. Table C-1.

See Chapter 1, Introduction for information on Accessing SPECTRUM Views from the Device Icon. Table C-2. Logical Module Icon Subviews Menu Selections Menu Selection Description Module Notes Opens the SPECTRUM Notes facility for the module, described in the SPECTRUM Views.
Configuration Views Attachment Segment Identifier Displays an identifier indicating relationship. Possible identifiers are as follows: “M” (Master) or “S” (Slave). Port Link Status Displays the status of the port. Double-click this status area to open the Port Configuration view. Table C-3 lists possible status values, their corresponding colors, and descriptions of each value. Table C-3.
Configuration Views Module Configuration View Module Configuration View The Module Configuration view provides an attachment table as well as information on the configuration of the module and allows modification of some values. Access the Module Configuration view by selecting Module Configuration from the Icon Subviews menu for the module. This view provides the following fields: Module Displays the number specifying the location of the module in the hub.
Configuration Views Attachment Configuration View Configuration Changes Displays the total number of configuration changes for the module detected since the cold/warm start of the agent or since the insertion of the module. Set Current Attachment For All Attachments Provides a button with which to choose NET 1-5, other, or ISOL. Module Attachment Table The Module Attachment Table, at the bottom of the Module Configuration view, provides information on each of the attachments on the module.
Port Profile View Attachment Displays the number specifying the location of the attachment on the module. Current Attachment Provides a button displaying (and allowing change of) the current setting for the attachment point. The position of the module within the hub, the setting of the backplane divider switch(es), and the mode setting all affect which backplane networks are valid. Some modules may limit the use of certain backplane network(s) or local channel(s).
Port Configuration View PCM Trace Receive Count Displays the number of times this port receives a trace signal. PCM Trace Propagation Count Displays the number of times the Nmm propagates a trace signal through this port. PCM Last Trace Displays the number of time ticks since the last trace occurs. Port Configuration View The SynOptics FDDI Port Configuration view displays network configuration information for the SynOptics FDDI 5000 Series.
Port Parameters View MAC Placement Indicates the MAC, if any, whose transmit path exits the station via this port. The value is zero if there is no MAC associated with the port. Otherwise, the MACIndex of the MAC is the value of the variable. Remote MAC Indicated Displays the indications in PC-Signalling of the intent to place a MAC in the output token path to a port. PMD Class Indicates the type of PMD entity associated with this port.
Port Parameters View Action Returns a default value of other. Table C-6 gives a description of each action variable. Table C-6. Action Values Action Variable Description Other Results in a badValue error. Connect Generates a Connect signal to ECM to begin a connection sequence. Disconnect Generates a Disconnect signal to ECM. Path_Test Initiates a station Path_Test. Self_Test Initiates a station Self_Test. Disable_A Causes a PC_Disable on the A port if the A port mode is peer.
Port LER Thresholds View Requested Paths Displays a list of permitted Paths which specifies the Path(s) into which the MAC may be inserted Possible values are Local, Secondary-alternate, Primary-alternate, concatenated-alternate, secondary-preferred, Primarypreferred, Concatenated-preferred, and Thru. Port LER Thresholds View The SynOptics FDDI Port LER Thresholds view contains Line Error Rate information for the SynOptics FDDI 5000 Series.
