SMT/MAC Configuration 4-13
FDDI Management
SMT/MAC Configuration
The SMT (Station Management)/MAC (Media Access Control) Configuration
window displays information about the configuration of each SMT entity present
in the hub, the operating state of the ring to which that entity is attached, the
physical state of the A and B ports on each module with respect to their MAC
entity, and parameters relating to ring initialization.
To open the SMT/MAC Configuration window (Figure 4-7):
from the Hub View:
1. Click either mouse button on any Module Index or Module Type text box to
display the Module Menu (remember, this menu is the same for all application
display modes).
2. Drag down to FDDI Utilities, then across to select SMT/MAC Configuration.
from the command line (stand-alone mode):
1. From the appropriate directory type:
spmarun fddicnfg <IP Address> <community name>
NOTES
The spmarun script invoked first in the above command temporarily sets the environment
variables SPMA needs to operate; be sure to use this command any time you launch an
application from the command line. This script is automatically invoked when you launch
an application from within the Hub View.
A community name with Read access is sufficient to view SMT/MAC configuration.
If there is a hostname mapped to your 7C0x’s IP address, you can use <hostname> in
place of <IP address> to launch this application. Please note, however, that the hostname
is not the same as the device name which can be assigned via Local Management and/or
SPMA; you cannot use the device name in place of the IP address.
