SET NETWORK TOKEN_RING MODE

SET NETWORK
TOKEN_RING MODE
Use the SET NETWORK TOKEN_RING MODE command to toggle entire rings
between isolated (module-level) and backplane (hub-wide) Token Ring networks.
This command is valid for port-switched modules only. This setting is saved
automatically, and is not affected by the SAVE or REVERT commands. The
command affects only the specified slot and cannot be used to isolate every
module in the hub.
You can implement each of the 10 available token rings on 3Com
CoreBuilder 5000 port-switching media modules either on a backplane
(hub-wide) or an isolated (module-level) network. Use this command to toggle
sets of ports between backplane and isolated. You may toggle only rings
1 through 10.
Format
Example 1
The following command assigns all ports assigned to isolated_3 (module-level
ring) in module 7 to token_ring_3 (backplane ring):
CB5000> set network token_ring isolated_3 7 mode backplane
Network mode set to BACKPLANE.
Example 2
The following command assigns all ports from slot 7 that are assigned to
token_ring_3 (backplane ring) to isolated_3 (module-level ring) in module 7:
CB5000> set network token_ring token_ring_3 mode isolated 7
Network mode set to ISOLATED.
If you entered the command shown in the examples, all ports assigned to
network isolated_3 join backplane network token_ring_3, as shown in the
figure that follows.
