CONFIGURING
3.1 INTRODUCTION
You can configure the Token Ring module using the Local Console
Manager (LCM), which allows you to monitor, manage, and configure
your ATX through an out-of-band RS-232 connection. You can also use
any SNMP compliant network management system.
For more details about LCM, see your
ATX User Guide
. For details about
the other network management software, refer to the product’s
documentation.
The following attributes are configurable using LCM:
• Speed of the Token Ring network (4 or 16 Mbps)
• Port's IP address for originating and receiving IP packets
• Enabling/disabling a port's Transparent Spanning Tree, Source
Routing or Source Routing Transparent mode
• Protocol translations
Additionally, the following attributes are configurable using network
management software (refer to the network management software
documentation for specific instructions):
• 48-bit unique MAC address
• Alarm thresholds for hardware errors
• Parameters for diagnostic loopback testing of a port
Filtering normally occurs as part of the Transparent Spanning Tree and
Source Routing algorithms. In addition, configurable criteria may be
established for filtering, to allow greater management control for security
or network congestion reasons. All configured filtering criteria are
