IBM 8260 Switch User Manual


 
In this example, the E-MAC is installed in the first subslot of the EC-DMM which
is installed in slot 1 of the 8260. The output from this command is shown in
Figure 38 on page 66.

Figure 38. Output from E-MAC Display
Note that this example shows that the E-MAC has a MAC address (shown in
non-canonical format in our display because of the DMM setting). This display
also shows the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for E-MAC which
is that of the Ethernet segment to which this E-MAC is assigned.
4.4.2 Token-Ring MAC Daughter Card (T-MAC)
The T-MAC must be mounted on an 8260 token-ring media module. This is
because at this stage there is no token carrier DMM. The T-MAC performs the
same functions for token-ring as the E-MAC does for Ethernet. It gathers
network and port statistics and transmits them to the DMM via the MLAN.
Each token-ring media module has the housing to install one T-MAC.
In addition to providing DMM with the interface to the backplane segments,
T-MAC allows you to collect statistics about the token-ring segment to which it is
attached. The statistics which are collected by T-MAC are passed to DMM (over
MLAN) which allows you to access them locally or in-band through an
application such as RMonitor for AIX. T-MAC supports collection of a subset of
RMON statistics. For information about RMON, and the T-MAC support for it,
please refer to Chapter 10, “8260 RMON Support” on page 191.
4.4.2.1 Configuring T-MAC
Once you have installed the T-MAC card, you must perform the following
configuration steps:
1. Assign IP parameters to the segment to which the T-MAC is going to be
attached, as described in 4.2.4.5, “Configuring DMM IP Parameters” on
page 54.
