2-7 Ring Speed Ring Speed The module defaults to a 16Mbps ring speed on all rings. This may be changed though local management. Multi-Ring Out Capability Any port of the module may be configured as a ring-out port thr ough management software. In this configuration a stand-alone passive concentrator (such as an IBM 8228) may be added to the ring [...]

3-1 Chapter 3 Operation The 9T122-24 MicroLAN Module pr ovides connectivity between the front panel T oken Ring(s) and the FDDI rings on the backplane (FNB-1 or FNB-2). MMAC-Plus modules connect to either the Internal Network Bus (INB) or the Flexible Network Bus (FNB) bus. The 9T122-24 module connects to the FNB bus. Shown in Figure 3-1 is a block[...]

Operation 3-2 T ransparent Bridging T ransparent Bridging is accomplished by building a Sour ce Address T able (SA T) from sour ce MAC/physical addresses and using the SA T to make forwarding decisions. The 9T122-24 prevents unnecessary network traf fic from passing thr ough the module by implementing two separate filtering processes — IEEE 802[...]

3-3 Bridging 2. The receiving bridges append their own r oute information to the Route Information Field (RIF) in the MAC frame header and transmit the frame again. 3. Eventually , the original source device receives all of the ARE r eplies from the other end stations on the network. 4. From this information, the sour ce device can determine a desi[...]

Operation 3-4 Fle xible Netw ork Bus (FNB) The FNB consists of two dual FDDI networks, the FNB-1 and FNB-2, providing up to 400 Mbps of data bandwidth. These FDDI networks are 100% ANSI FDDI-compliant supporting SMT (version 7.3), MAC, PHY , and PMD standards. This allows the FNB to traverse multiple MMAC-Plus hubs, or connect to any ANSI FDDI-comp[...]
