8-4 CHAPTER 8: ADMINISTERING FDDI RESOURCES
To set the connection policies of an FDDI station:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi station connectPolicy
You are prompted for a station. The Switch 2200 has one station, which
appears in brackets.
2 Press Return.
3 Enter the value of the connection policy for that station.
The value is a 16-bit number with the appropriate bit(s) set for each
connection type that you want to reject.
Example:
Select station [1]:
Station 1 - Enter new value [8000]:
B-B 5 Undesirable peer connection that creates
twisted primary and secondary rings; notify
SMT.
B-S 6 Undesirable peer connection that creates a
wrapped ring; notify SMT.
B-M 7 Tree connection with possible redundancy.
The node may not go to Thru state in CFM.
In a single MAC node, Port B has precedence
(with defaults) for connecting to a Port M.
M-A 12 Tree connection with possible redundancy
M-B 13 Tree connection with possible redundancy
M-S 14 Normal tree connection
M-M 15 Illegal connection that creates a tree of rings
