The Device View • Source Addressing allows you to view the source MAC addresses communicating through the currently selected interface. • HSIM W87 Config (T3) allows you to configure a T3 interface for an installed HSIM-W87; see Chapter 8, HSIM-W87 Configuration, for details. • I/F Statistics launches a window that displays MIB-II interface statistics for the selected interface.
The Device View Status You can view four port status categories, as follows: • • • • Bridge — FWD, DIS, LRN, LIS, BLK, or BRK Bridge Mapping — the instance of the physical interface associated with a bridge port Admin — ON or OFF Operator — ON or OFF If you have selected the Bridge status mode, a port is considered: • FWD (Forwarding) if the port is on-line and ready to forward packets across the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 from one network segment to another.
The Device View If you have selected the Operator status mode, a port is considered: • ON if the port is currently forwarding packets. • OFF if the port is not currently forwarding packets. Note that the Operator status provides the actual status of the port; depending on the circumstances, this may or may not reflect the Admin state currently requested by management.
The Device View Load If you choose Load, the port text boxes will display the percentage of network load processed by each port during the last polling interval. This percentage reflects the network load generated by devices connected to the port compared to the theoretical maximum load (10, 100, 155.5, 800, or 1000 Mbps). Port Assignment If you choose Port Assignment, each port’s status box will display a letter which designates its current repeater channel assignment (A-H).
The Device View If you have selected the Link status mode, a port is considered: NOTE • LNK (Linked) when a valid link has been established between the port and the device at the other end of the segment. • NLK (Not Linked) when the port is on, but there is no physical link to the port or the device at the other end of the port’s segment is down. • N/A (not available) when NetSight Element Manager cannot determine the link status for the port.
The Device View The port status boxes will display the percentage for each active port that represents what portion of that port’s total traffic is of the specific type (Errors or Frame Sizes) that you selected. Select one of the Errors options to see what percentage of the total packets received by each active port during the last polling interval was of the error type you selected.
The Device View The Chassis Backplane View By default, the Device View window displays the Logical View of the 6C105/6C107 Chassis and an installed SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module. The Logical View provides port status information and access to device-, module-, and port-level menus, as described above.

The Device View 802.1Q VLANs This section introduces and describes pre-standard IEEE 802.1Q port-based Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technology and the windows used to configure Enterasys 802.1Q VLAN-capable devices. SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 firmware version 4.00.08 and above support the pre-standard IEEE 802.1Q draft specification for port-based VLANs. NOTES In certain SmartSwitch 6000 firmware versions, 802.1Q operation is not fully supported.
The Device View Ports on 802.1Q switches are assigned membership in a VLAN by associating a VLAN ID with each port on the switch. The VLAN ID is combined with the port’s identification (e.g., module X port X) to form the Port VLAN ID (PVID). NOTE When 802.1Q mode is initially activated on a device, all ports are associated with the Default VLAN (VLAN ID 1). If a VLAN ID has not been assigned to a particular port on an 802.
The Device View If a port receives a tagged frame that specifies a VLAN other than the one assigned to the port, the switch will dynamically associate that frame’s source address and VLAN with the port (i.e., add that frame’s VLAN to the receiving port’s egress list). Dynamically learned VLANs are subject to the same aging rules as source addresses (e.g.
The Device View To set up your 802.1Q port-based VLANs using NetSight Element Manager, you must first define the desired VLANs using the VLAN Config window (Figure 2-25), which allows you to assign VLAN IDs and optional VLAN names, and enable or disable VLANs. After your VLANs are defined, you may configure the ingress and egress lists for each port using the VLAN Port Config window (Figure 2-26) and the VLAN Egress Port Config window (Figure 2-27), respectively.
The Device View VLAN ID The VLAN ID is used to identify data frames that originate from, and are intended for, the ports assigned to the VLAN. Up to 64 VLANs may be created, with VLAN IDs ranging from 2-4094. The VLAN ID is combined with the port’s identification (e.g., module X port X) to form the Port VLAN ID (PVID). VLAN ID 1 is reserved for the Default VLAN. VLAN Name An optional 32-character VLAN name may be assigned to a created VLAN.
The Device View Deleting VLANs The VLAN Config window also allows you to delete VLANs (except for the Default VLAN, which cannot be deleted). When a VLAN is deleted, any ports assigned to that VLAN will automatically become members of the Default VLAN. To delete a VLAN from your 802.1Q switch: 1. Click to select the desired VLAN entry in the Configured VLANS list box. 2. Click the Delete button. The selected VLAN will be removed from the list box.

The Device View Configuring Basic VLAN Port Parameters VLAN port assignment and egress state configuration is performed using the VLAN Port Configuration (Basic) window, which is accessed from the Bridge Extension window. You can also use this window to access Advanced VLAN Port parameters using the Advanced button at the bottom of the window. To launch the window: 1. In the Device View, select Bridge Extension Configuration... from the Device menu. 2.
The Device View Port VLAN ID Displays the VLAN ID of the VLAN assigned to the port. When you assign a VLAN to a port, that VLAN’s ID (VID) becomes the Port VLAN ID (PVID) for the port. Endpoints connected to the port become members of that VLAN. All untagged frames received on the port are tagged with the PVID, unless a classification rule exists for the frame’s classification type. VLAN Name Displays the name (up to 32 characters) assigned to the selected VLAN.
The Device View 3. Click the Apply button. The new egress state will be reflected in the VLAN Port Configuration (Basic) window’s table. NOTE In order to properly configure the Egress state for backplane ports, the Auto VLAN Backplane Configuration option should be set to disabled. This option is available via local management. If the option is set to enabled, the backplane ports cannot be set to No Egress via Element Manager.
The Device View Figure 2-31. The VLAN Port Configuration (Advanced) Window The window displays the following information: Port Displays the number that identifies the port. Port VLAN ID Displays the VLAN ID of the VLAN assigned to the port. When you assign a VLAN to a port, that VLAN’s ID (VID) becomes the Port VLAN ID (PVID) for the port. Endpoints connected to the port become members of that VLAN.
The Device View In this release, the Static Egress State will not update until you click the Apply button. NOTE Acceptable Frame Types Displays a port’s Acceptable Frame Types setting: admitAll (the port accepts both tagged and untagged frames), admitOnlyVlanTagged (the port accepts only tagged frames) or No Capability (the port does not support this functionality).

Chapter 3 Statistics Accessing interface statistics from the Device View; available statistics windows Each port menu in the Device View window provides two statistics selections: Statistics and I/F Statistics.
Statistics NOTE If the selected interface displays MIB-II I/F Statistics and you were expecting to see RMON statistics, the RMON Default MIB component may be disabled; see the RMON User’s Guide for information on how to check (and if necessary, change) the admin status of the RMON Default MIB component. RMON Statistics The RMON Ethernet Statistics window (Figure 3-1) provides a detailed statistical breakdown of traffic on the monitored Ethernet network.
Statistics The selected interface number and its description are displayed at the top of the Statistics window. The column on the left side of the window displays each statistic’s name, total count, and percentage; the column on the right displays the peak value for each statistic, and the date and time that peak occurred. Note that peak values are always Delta values; see Viewing Total, Delta, and Accumulated Statistics, on page 3-5, for more information.
Statistics Problems CRC/Alignment Indicates the number of packets processed by the network segment that had a non-integral number of bytes (alignment error) or a bad frame check sequence (Cyclic Redundancy Check, or CRC error). Fragments Indicates the number of packets processed by the network segment that were undersized (less than 64 bytes in length; a runt packet) and had either a non-integral number of bytes (alignment error) or a bad frame check sequence (CRC error).
Statistics The percentages displayed to the right of the numerical values for these fields indicate what percentage of all packets transmitted on the network segment were of the noted size. Unless the network segment has experienced a significant number of runts and/or giants (which are not counted in this group), these percentages will add up to 100.
Statistics To temporarily freeze the statistics display, select the Freeze Stats option; in this mode, statistics will continue to be collected, but the display will not update. To resume normal updates, click again to de-select the freeze option. Printing Statistics The Print button located at the bottom of the Statistics window allows you to print the current snapshot of statistical data. When you select Print, a standard Windows Print window like the sample shown in Figure 3-2 will appear. Figure 3-2.
Statistics Interface Statistics The interface I/F Statistics window (Figure 3-3) provides MIB-II interface statistical information — including counts for both transmit and receive packets, and error and buffering information — for the front panel interfaces on the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 series chassis. Color-coded pie charts in the middle of the window let you graphically view statistics for Unicast, Non-Unicast, Discarded and Error packets.
Statistics Three informational fields appear in the upper portion of the window: Description Displays the interface description for the currently selected interface (e.g., Enterasys Enet Port, Enterasys Fast Enet Port, FDDI, ATM, or Enterasys Backplane Port). Address Displays the MAC (physical) address of the selected interface. Type Displays the interface type of the selected port: ethernet-csmacd, fddi, or atm.
Statistics Transmit Queue Size (Transmit only) Displays the number of packets currently queued for transmission from this interface. The amount of device memory devoted to buffer space, and the traffic level on the target network, determine how large the output packet queue can grow before the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module will begin to discard packets. Packets Transmitted (Transmit only) Displays the number of packets transmitted by this interface.
Statistics 3-10 Interface Statistics
Chapter 4 Alarm Configuration Accessing the Basic and Advanced Alarms windows; creating a basic alarm; creating an advanced alarm; creating events; assigning actions to events; viewing the event log Through the RMON Alarm and Event functionality supported by your SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 series module, you can configure alarms and events (and, where appropriate, actions) for each available interface.
Alarm Configuration Using the Advanced Alarms feature, you can define custom alarms for almost any MIB-II or RMON object, as long as it is present in the device firmware and its value is defined as an integer (including counters, timeticks, and gauges).
Alarm Configuration Accessing the Basic Alarm Configuration Window To access the RMON Basic Alarm Configuration window: 1. From the Device View, click on the appropriate port index to display the Port menu. 2. Drag down to Alarm Configuration, and release. The Basic Alarm Configuration window, Figure 4-1 on the following page, will appear. When the window is first launched, no interfaces will be selected, and the Apply, Disable, and View Log buttons will be grayed out.
Alarm Configuration Figure 4-1. Basic Alarm Configuration Window TIP • Total Errors (ifInErrors) — tracks the number of error packets received by the selected interface. • Broadcast/Multicast (ifInNUcastPkts) — tracks the number of non-unicast — that is, broadcast or multicast — packets received by the selected interface.
Alarm Configuration IF Type Displays each interface’s type: e.g., FDDI, Ethernet, ATM. Note that there is no type distinction between standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. Status Displays the current status of the selected alarm type for each interface: Enabled or Disabled. Remember, this status refers only to the alarm type which is selected at the top of the window; each of the other two alarm types can have different states.
Alarm Configuration TIP Before you decide whether or not to assign an action to a rising or falling alarm, it is important to understand something about the hysteresis function built in to the RMON alarm functionality. See How Rising and Falling Thresholds Work, on page 4-27, for more information. The remainder of the window fields provide the means for configuring alarms for each available interface.
Alarm Configuration 4. In the Alarm field, click to select one or both of the following options: a. Select Log if you wish to create a silent log of alarm occurrences. b. Select Send Trap if you want your device to issue a trap in response to each alarm occurrence. NOTES In order for the trap selection to work properly, your SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 series module must be configured to send traps to your network management station.
Alarm Configuration 6. Click in the Rising Threshold field, and enter the high threshold value for this alarm. Remember, compared values are always relative, or delta values (the difference between the value counted at the end of the current interval and the value counted at the end of the previous interval); be sure to set your thresholds accordingly.
Alarm Configuration To configure additional alarms, or alarms of a different type, select the appropriate alarm variable at the top of the window, highlight the appropriate interface(s), and repeat the procedures outlined above. Disabling a Basic Alarm Using the Disable button at the bottom of the window actually performs two functions: it both disables the alarm and deletes the alarm entry (and its associated event and action entries) from device memory to help conserve device resources.
Alarm Configuration Figure 4-2.
Alarm Configuration Each log will hold only a finite number of entries, which is determined by the resources available on the device; when the log is full, the oldest entries will be replaced by new ones. Advanced Alarm Configuration The Basic Alarm Configuration window provides a quick and easy way to set up some basic alarms for all of the interfaces on your SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module.
Alarm Configuration Figure 4-3. The RMON Advanced Alarm/Event List Window NOTES Neither the Alarms or Events list is interface-specific; both will be displayed the same for every interface. Note, too, that alarms and events which have been configured via the Basic Alarms window are not displayed in and cannot be accessed or edited from the Advanced Alarm/Event List window.
Alarm Configuration The fields in the Alarms Watch display include: Index The index is a number that uniquely identifies each alarm. Index numbers are user-defined; you can use any indexing scheme that works for you. These numbers are permanently assigned to their associated alarms; however, index numbers made available by the deletion of existing alarms can be assigned to new alarms, as needed. Note that indices 2000 to 3999 are reserved and unavailable.
Alarm Configuration The fields in the Events Watch display include: Index This is a number that uniquely identifies an entry in the event table; an index number is assigned when an event is created. These numbers are extremely important, as they are the means by which an event is associated with an alarm or a packet capture filter. As with alarms, these index numbers are user-defined and can be assigned according to any indexing scheme that works for you.
Alarm Configuration Note, too, that the main Alarm/Event window remains active while the Create/Edit Alarms window is open; to edit a different alarm (or use its settings as the basis of a new alarm), simply double-click on the alarm you want to use in the main Alarms Watch list, and the Create/Edit Alarms window will update accordingly. To configure an alarm: 1.
Alarm Configuration 2. In the Owner text box, enter some appropriate text designation for this alarm, if desired; you may want to use the network manager’s name or phone number, or the IP or MAC address of the management workstation, to identify the creator of the alarm. Since any workstation can access and change the alarms you are setting in your SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 series module, some owner identification can prevent alarms from being altered or deleted accidentally.
Alarm Configuration a. If you know the exact name of the OID whose value you wish to track (including its capitalization), simply enter the name in the Alarm Variable field; to verify that you have entered the name correctly, click on the Find-> button to move the MIB Tree display to that OID. (If the MIB Tree display does not adjust to show the OID you’ve entered, you’ve entered the name incorrectly; remember, case does count!) b.
Alarm Configuration If you have selected an object from a table which is indexed by some other means — for example, by ring number — you must be sure to assign the instance accordingly. If you’re not sure how a tabular object is instanced, you can use the MIB Tools utility (described in the Tools Guide) to query the object; all available instances for the object will be displayed.
Alarm Configuration NOTE If you wish to set an alarm on an object whose instance is non-integral — for example, a Host Table object indexed by MAC address — or on an object with multiple indices, like a Matrix Table entry (which is indexed by a pair of MAC addresses), you must follow certain special procedures for defining the instance. For these OIDs, the instance definition must take the following format: table index.length(in bytes).
Alarm Configuration 7. Since the first sample taken can be misleading, you can use the selections in the Startup Alarm box to disable either the rising or the falling threshold for that sample only. If you would like to exclude the falling alarm, select the Rising option; the first sample taken will only generate a rising alarm, even if the sample value is at or below the falling threshold.
Alarm Configuration 13. Click the Apply button to set your changes. If you have made any errors in configuring alarm parameters (using an invalid value in any field, leaving a field blank, or selecting an alarm variable which is not resident on the device), an error window with the appropriate message will appear. Correct the noted problem(s), and click the Apply button again.
Alarm Configuration Figure 4-5. The RMON Create/Edit Events Window TIP Whether you are modifying an existing event or creating a new one is determined solely by the assignment of the Index number: if you assign a previously unused index number, a new event instance will be created; if you use an existing index number, its associated event will be modified. 2. If you are creating a new event, use the Index field to assign a unique, currently unused index number to identify the event.
Alarm Configuration 3. Click in the Description text box to enter any text description you want to identify the event. This description will appear in the Events Watch portion of the main Advanced Alarm/Event window, and help you distinguish among the events you have configured. 4.
Alarm Configuration NOTES In order for the trap selection to work properly, your SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 series module must be configured to send traps to the management station. This is accomplished via local management; consult your device hardware manual for more information. If you are monitoring a variable you consider to be critical, we do not recommend that you select Trap as the only event response; if a trap is lost due to a collision or other transmission problem, it will not be re-sent.
Alarm Configuration To add an action or actions to an event: 1. In the Create/Edit Events window, click on the Actions button. The Create/Edit Action window, Figure 4-6, will appear. Figure 4-6. The RMON Create/Edit Action Window NOTE If no Actions button appears in the Create/Edit Events window, the selected SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 series module does not support the Actions MIB. For more information about devices which support this MIB, contact the Enterasys Global Call Center. 2.
Alarm Configuration 4. To select the Variable whose value you wish to SET, use the MIB Tree display provided on the right side of the window. (For more information about how to use the MIB Tools browser, see the Tools Guide.) Use the scroll bars and click to open the appropriate folders in the MIB Tree display to locate the object you wish to use; click to select it in the panel, and its name will automatically be entered in the Variable field.
Alarm Configuration When you delete an event, be sure you edit all alarms that were pointing to that event, and assign a new valid event to those thresholds; note, too, that deleting an event automatically deletes its associated actions, as actions cannot exist in the absence of an association with an event. Again, as a general rule, we recommend that you do not delete an alarm or event of which you are not the owner.
Alarm Configuration will be generated until the opposite threshold is met or crossed. Therefore, if your threshold pair spans a wide range of values, and network performance is unstable around either threshold, you will only receive one event in response to what may be several dramatic changes in value. To monitor both ends of a wide range of values, set up two pairs of thresholds: one set at the top end of the range, and one at the bottom. Figure 4-7 illustrates such a configuration. Figure 4-7.

The status conditions and corresponding colors (for both the pie chart and numerical statistics) are: • • • Good (Green) Total Errors (Red) Collisions (Blue) Error Breakdown The Detail Breakdown window also displays the number of error packets received by a repeater, board, or port.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules NOTE On devices running older firmware versions, unlinked ports will be disabled immediately after locking has been enabled; these ports can be re-enabled using their port menus, but they will immediately be disabled again if a device is connected and begins transmitting (since the port’s source address table was locked in an empty state). Be sure to unlock empty ports before linking them.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules TIP The only way to achieve a mixed lock status is by locking ports via the port-level Security windows. If your Ethernet MicroLAN module is running firmware version 2.03.03 or later, the repeater, port group (board), and port Security options will be available, and the resulting windows will appear to allow you to set all security parameters.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules To lock or unlock all ports on a selected repeater channel: 1. Click on Repeater on the Device View menu bar and select the desired repeater channel, then drag right to display the repeater menu. 2. Click on Lock/Unlock Ports. If the repeater’s ports are already locked, a dialog box informs you that they are locked, and asks if you want to unlock them.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules Locking and Unlocking Individual Ports On devices running newer firmware, a security option (Security Selection on the Repeater menu and Port Security on the port menu) will be available which lets you set the parameters related to LANVIEWSECURE functionality. However the Ethernet MicroLAN modules have not been factory-equipped with the hardware necessary for LANVIEWSECURE functionality.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules TIP Although you can access the Alarm Limits window at both the repeater and board levels, note that setting alarms at those two levels will have the same effect, as each Ethernet MicroLAN module “board” is equivalent to a repeater channel. Accessing the Alarm Limits Windows To open the repeater-level Alarm Limits window from the Device View: 1. Click on Repeater on the Device View menu bar; a menu listing the available repeater channels will appear. 2.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules To access the board-level Alarm Limits window: 1. Click on the appropriate Module Index to display the Module menu. 2. Drag down to select the appropriate repeater channel (A - H), then right to reveal the board-level Repeater menu. 3. Select Alarm Limits. The Board Alarm Limits window, Figure 5-7, will appear. Figure 5-7. The Board Alarm Limits Window To access the port-level Alarm Limits window: 1. Click once on the appropriate Port to display the port menu. 2.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules Figure 5-8. Port Alarm Limits Window The Alarm Limits window displays the following fields: Collisions Use the text box in this field to enter the number of collisions per good packet you wish to allow on the selected repeater, board, or port before an alarm is generated; allowable values are 1-15.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules Packets Use the text box in this field to determine the total number of packets (including all errors except collisions) that must be processed by the repeater, board, or port within the user-specified time before an alarm is triggered. Allowable values are 1 to Ý 4 billion 32 (2 -1).
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules NOTE For more detailed definitions of these statistics and information on the possible network conditions they represent, consult the Enterasys Network Troubleshooting Guide, included with this package. within: This field displays the user-configurable alarm limit timer interval: the amount of time the selected statistics will be counted before being compared to the configured thresholds. The allowable values are 10 seconds to 23 hrs/59 mins/59 secs.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules 3. Click on the up and down arrows to change the time, or type in the new hour time interval. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the minutes and seconds of your new time interval. Remember, valid settings range from 10 seconds to 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. 5. Click on the OK button. The new Alarm Interval you have set will appear in the within: text box. 6.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules Your Alarm Limits are now set. Any condition that exceeds these alarm limits will generate an alarm, and disable that board or port, if so configured. Refer to the Element Manager Alarm and Event Handling Guide for information on how to use the alarm logging facilities to view alarms.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules At the repeater or board level, a three-state check box indicates the state of settings for all ports that are on the repeated network. The check box will be: Grayed – If individual port-level settings have mixed enabled and disabled states for a given trap. Checked – If all port trap settings are enabled for a given trap. Blank – if all port trap settings are disabled for a given trap. Figure 5-10.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules You can change trap settings from any level window; however, if you have established individual trap settings for any ports, remember that enabling and disabling traps from the repeater- or module-level windows will override those individual setting. Remember, too, that setting trap selection state at the repeater and module levels accomplishes the same thing, as each “board” on the Ethernet MicroLAN module is a repeated network.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules Source Address Traps The Ethernet MicroLAN module can issue several different traps in response to changes in a port’s Source Address Table: A newSourceAddress trap is generated when a station port – one receiving packets from no source addresses, or from one or two source addresses – receives a packet from a source address that is not currently in its source address table.
Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules TIP When you are setting repeater- or module-level traps, we recommend that you leave the gray “No SET” status untouched (especially for Source Addressing Traps) unless you are sure you want to override port-level settings. With no incoming traps to inform you of a port security violation, you may have ports that are disabled on your device for no obvious reason. To enable or disable the above-described traps: 1. Open the appropriate Trap Selection window. 2.
Chapter 6 FDDI Management Concentrator configuration; connection policy; station list; concentrator performance; FDDI statistics; frame translation The FDDI menu lets you access windows to view a SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module’s FDDI configuration, connection policy, station list, and performance with respect to each Station Management (SMT) entity present on an installed HSIM-F6 High Speed Interface Module.
FDDI Management • Connection Policy — This window shows the types of connections between the four FDDI PHY (port) types — A, B, M, and S — that will be allowed by the SMT entity. • Station List — With this window you can see the configuration of the ring on which the SMT entity resides, including number of nodes, node addresses (both Canonical and MAC), node class, and current ring topology.
FDDI Management Configuration The Concentrator Configuration window, Figure 6-2, informs you about the configuration and operating state of the FDDI ring associated with the selected SMT entity, and displays parameters relating to ring initialization. Figure 6-2. The Concentrator Configuration Window MAC State This field indicates the current state of the selecting ring’s MAC component. (The RMT component of SMT monitors MAC operation and takes actions necessary to aid in achieving an operational ring.
FDDI Management beacon process. This state will not occur unless you are using locally-administered addresses, as factory-set MAC addresses are guaranteed to be unique. Ring-Op-Dup The ring is operational; however, the address of the MAC under control of the SMT entity has been found to duplicate that of another MAC on the ring. Corrective actions will be attempted before the duplicate address condition causes ring initialization to fail after the claim and beacon recovery process.
FDDI Management frames (from other issuing stations) and either continues its own bid (and removes the competing Claim Frame from the ring) or defers (halts transmission of its own bid and repeats the competing bid) according to the following hierarchy of arbitration: • A Claim Frame with the lowest TTRT bid has precedence. • If the values of TTRT are equal, the frame with the longest source address (48 vs. 16 bits) has precedence.
FDDI Management • Local means that the MAC is not inserted into a primary or secondary path of a dual ring, but may be connected to one or more other nodes. This is not a valid value for the HSIM-F6. • Isolated means that the MAC has no connection to the ring or other concentrator ports. • Not Available means that there is no MAC on the FDDI ring associated with the selected SMT entity. Again, this state will not occur for the HSIM-F6.
FDDI Management The following table summarizes the FDDI connection rules: Table 6-1. FDDI Connection Rules V X U P ! A B S M A V, U V V, U V, P B V V, U V, U V, P S V, U V, U V V M V V V X —valid connection —illegal connection —undesirable (but legal) connection; this requires that SMT is notified. —valid, but when both A and B are connected to M ports (a dual-homing configuration), only the B connection is used.
FDDI Management TIP You can use any SNMP Set Request or MIB tool to edit the Connection Policy for your device by setting the fddimibSMTConnectionPolicy MIB OID (part of the MIBII FDDI Transmission MIB (RFC1512). fddimibSMTConnectionPolicy is simply a 16-bit integer value (ranging from 32768 to 65535) that corresponds to the connection policy (in the “Reject X-Y” format, where X represents a port on the FDDI Switch Module, and Y represents the attaching node).
FDDI Management Station List The Station List illustrates the configuration of the ring associated with the currently selected SMT entity, including number of nodes on the ring, node addresses (both Canonical and MAC), node class, and ring topology. Figure 6-4.
FDDI Management Stations Panel The Stations Panel displays a list of the stations on the ring to which the selected SMT is connected, in ring sequence from the MAC, along with each station’s node class and current topology. Note that the information displayed in the Station List is static once the window is opened; for updated information, click on the Refresh button.
FDDI Management Performance The Concentrator Performance window, Figure 6-5, provides graphical and numeric performance statistics for the selected SMT entity, including transmit frames, receive frames, frame errors, lost frames, and ring ops. Figure 6-5. The Concentrator Performance Window Statistics are displayed in three ways: • By count (i.e., the number detected of each for the selected interval). • By rate (i.e., the number of each per second, as averaged over the selected interval).
FDDI Management Available statistics are: Transmit Frames The number of frames transmitted by the MAC associated with the SMT during the chosen interval. Receive Frames The number of frames received by the MAC associated with the SMT during the chosen interval. Frame Errors The number of error frames detected by the MAC associated with the SMT during the chosen interval that had not been detected previously by other stations.
FDDI Management Figure 6-6. The FDDI Statistics Window The FDDI Statistics window displays the following information for the module: SMT# This field displays the index number of Station Management (SMT) entity for the HSIM-F6. Frames/sec The number of frames/second (averaged over the specified poll interval) transmitted by the indicated SMT. KBytes/sec The number of kilobytes/second (averaged over the specified poll interval) transmitted by the indicated SMT.
FDDI Management Setting the FDDI Statistics Poll Rate To set the FDDI Statistics poll rate: 1. Click on the clock symbol ( ) next to the Poll Rate (sec) text box. The New Timer Interval text box, Figure 6-7, will appear. Figure 6-7. New Timer Interval Text Box 2. Using the mouse, click to highlight the hour field in the New Timer Interval text box. 3. Using the arrow keys to the right of the text box, scroll to change the hour, as desired. Notice that the time is given in a 24-hour hh:mm:ss format. 4.
FDDI Management Figure 6-8. The Frame Translation Window Information about Ethernet and FDDI Frame Types There are four frame types which can be transmitted on an IEEE 802.3/Ethernet network – Ethernet II, Ethernet 802.2, Ethernet 802.3 (or Raw Ethernet), and Ethernet SNAP; there two frame types which can be transmitted on an FDDI network: FDDI 802.2 and FDDI SNAP. Each of these frame types is described in more detail in the sections that follow. Bridges connecting IEEE 802.
FDDI Management If the frame is exiting the FDDI ring through another FDDI/Ethernet bridge, the FDDI frame must be converted back into an IEEE 802.3/Ethernet frame. As there are four potential Ethernet frame types to which the two FDDI frame types can be translated, you must determine which translation options you want in effect — depending on which network protocols and applications are being run on the destination network.
FDDI Management Ethernet 802.3 (Ethernet Raw) The Ethernet 802.3 frame format has an 802.3 MAC layer header (as do Ethernet 802.2 frames); however, it does not contain an 802.2 LLC header. Instead, Novell IPX is fixed within the packet as the network layer protocol. This frame type – also known as Raw 802.3 – is the default frame type for Novell NetWare software before version 3.11. Since these frames do not carry the 802.2 header, they do not conform to the IEEE 802.3 specification.
FDDI Management FDDI SNAP frames, by identifying it as a SNAP frame in the LLC header, and inserting a SNAP header with the Ethernet Type field. By default, Enterasys’ Ethernet-to- FDDI bridges will translate an 802.3 Raw frame into an FDDI MAC frame – although you can use the FDDI Frame Translation window to alter the default translation.
FDDI Management Translate all Novell FDDI SNAP frames to This selection box lets you set the translation parameters for Novell IPX FDDI SNAP frames. Possible options are Ethernet II (default, for most TCP/IP traffic), Ethernet SNAP (AppleTalk networks), Ethernet 802.3 (some NetWare 3.12+ or other networks running an ISO/OSI protocol stack), or Ethernet 802.3 Raw (NetWare 3.11 and earlier networks). Translate all Novell FDDI 802.
