Modeling the Modules in the
Chassis
The following instructions are used to manually
model modules in the SmartSwitch 9000. The
“Quick Steps” are intended to provide a basic
understanding of the process as well as a quick
reference for modeling the modules. For more
detailed instructions for modeling modules in the
SmartSwitch 9000, refer to the procedures
following the “Quick Steps.” To model the
modules in the SmartSwitch 9000 using
AutoDiscovery, refer to the AutoDiscovery
User’s Guide.
Quick Steps
1 In the Topology view, create an FDDI LAN
model to represent the FNB (FNB1 or FNB2).
2 In the Topology view, model the modules that
can be modeled at this level (from the
worksheet) that are connected to the FNB
(FNB1 or FNB2) you modeled in step 1.
3 Open the FDDI LAN Topology view and model
the modules (from the worksheet) that must
be modeled at this level (refer to the Modeling
the Chassis (Page 146) section).
4 If you have RingView for FDDI installed, copy
at least one model’s FddiMAC Application icon
into the FDDI LAN Topology view and select
Current View Information from the Icon
Subviews menu. Model the ring using the
procedures described in the RingView for
FDDI User’s Guide.
5 If you do not have RingView for FDDI
installed, copy the FddiMAC or GenFDDIMAC
Application icon for each module’s model into
the FDDI LAN Topology view.
6 Position the FddiMAC or GenFddiMAC icons
in a ring in the order described in the Station
List for one of the FddiMACs.
7 Connect the FddiMAC or GenFddiMAC icons
by drawing pipes between the adjacent icons
in the ring.
8 Resolve the adjacent FddiMAC Off-Page
Reference icons in the Device Topology views.
Note:
Note:
Some modules cannot be modeled in
the Universe Topology view. If you
attempt to model a module that
cannot be modeled at this level, you
will get an error message. This
indicates that the module must be
modeled in the FDDI LAN Topology
View described in step 3.
