3Com 510M-FBP Network Card User Manual


 
Installing and Operating the Module 3 - 15
Selecting a Network
Both models of the Port-Switching Module (Model Numbers 5102M-FBP or
5104M-FBP) support Port-Switching technology. This feature enables you to
assign each port on the module to any of three Ethernet networks (or
isolated) on the ONline System Concentrator backplane.
To set a port to a network or to isolated mode, use the following
management command:
SET PORT {
slot.port
} NETWORK {ethernet_1}
{
slot
.all} {ethernet_2}
{ethernet_3}
{isolated}
The 10BASE-FB Module (Model Number 5104M-FB) enables you to assign
the module to any of the three Ethernet networks (or isolated) on the
ONline System Concentrator backplane.
To set a module to a network or to isolated mode, use the following
management command:
SET MODULE {
slot
} NETWORK {ethernet_1}
{ethernet_2}
{ethernet_3}
{isolated}
Note: The dip switch settings on the module refer to the
backplane connection as the “channel” connection. The
channel setting and the network setting are the same.
Modules or ports set to the same network communicate
with each other.
