FDDI Paths
FDDI’s dual, counter-rotating ring consists of a primary ring and a secondary
ring. FDDI stations can be connected to either ring or to both rings
simultaneously. Data flows downstream on the primary ring in one direction
from one station to its neighboring station. The secondary ring serves as a
redundant path and flows in the opposite direction. When a link failure or
station failure occurs, the ring “wraps” around the location of the failure,
creating a single logical ring.
You can display FDDI path information and set the time values of the
following attributes:
■ tvxLowerBound
■ tmaxLowerBound
■ maxTreq
These values are used by all MACs configured in a path.
Displaying Path
Information
FDDI path information includes the time values for tvxLowerBound,
tmaxLowerBound, and maxTreq, as well as values for ring latency and trace
status.
To display FDDI path information:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi path display
You are prompted for a station and path. The Switch 2200 has one station,
which appears in brackets.
2 When prompted for the station, press Return.
