Modeling Considerations

Some conditions apply concerning the placement (modeling) of model types within SPECTRUM views. The

following restrictions apply:

• Ethernet devices can be modeled in the

Universe Topology view or an 802.3 LAN

Topology view

• Token Ring devices can only be modeled in an

802.5 LAN Topology view

• FDDI devices can only be modeled in an FDDI

LAN Topology view
