Building the FNB Ring in the
FDDI LAN Topology View
The FNB ring displays the FDDI Media Access
Controller (FddiMAC) models or GenFddiMAC
models representing the connection to the FNB
ring on the backplane. To model the ring
automatically use the procedure described in the
RingView for FDDI User’s Guide. To build a ring
manually you must copy the FddiMAC or
GenFddiMAC Application icons from each
module’s Application view into the FDDI LAN
Topology view as follows:
1 From either the Topology view or the FDDI
LAN Topology view, highlight a model icon
and select Application from the Icon
Subviews menu or double-click the
Application view Label.
2 Copy the FddiMAC Application Icon from the
Application view as follows:
a Select Edit from the File menu.
b Highlight the FddiMAC Application Icon.
c Select Copy from the Edit menu.
d Exit Edit mode and the Application View.
3 From the Topology view, click the Topology
Arrow on the FDDI LAN icon to open the FDDI
LAN Topology view.
4 Paste the FddiMAC Application icon into the
FDDI LAN Topology View as follows:
a Select Edit from the File menu.
b Select Paste from the Edit menu.
c Drag the FddiMAC or GenFDDIMAC icon
to position it in a ring.
d Exit Edit mode.
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 until all modules
have a FddiMAC or GenFDDIMAC icon in the
FDDI LAN.
