Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrators 4.0 Installation and User Guide (05/98) OPERATION This chapter describes the function and operation of the Magnum 700X mixed-media concentrator and its various Port Modules (PMs). 4.1 Repeater Functionality The Magnum 700X operates as an Ethernet mini-concentrator or repeater to support the interconnection of multiple (two to seven) segments. The segments may be individually selected to be of any media type. The 700X is compliant with IEEE 802.
Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrators Installation and User Guide (05/98) 1. Bridge Functions: Each BPM card contains a compact local bridge module which filters and forwards packets at full Ethernet wire speed. These micro-bridges are self learning and have small (256 user) address tables. Packet filter/forward decisions are made based on whether the packet source is internal (originates within the local Magnum Hub/Stack) or external (originates from upstream on the attached segment).
Magnum 700X Mini-Concentrators Should the table become full, the BPM will clear all entries in the table by reinitializing itself. Installation and User Guide (05/98) External packets are filtered when the destination is NOT IN the address table. When an external packet’s source address is in the address table, it is purged. This can occur if a node has physically moved to a different location. Figure 4.
