T-MACs attached to the same segment and want one of them to act as a
backup for the active T-MAC.
6. Assign the T-MAC to the desired segment using the following example:
8260A> set module 6.2 network token_ring_10
If you try to assign a T-MAC with
enabled
interface to a segment which
already has an active T-MAC, your command will be rejected as shown in
Figure 39.
8260A> set module 8.2 network token_ring_10
Interface module 6.2 already enabled for this network
Multiple Enabled Interface cards cannot be on the same network
Command aborted

7. If you are planning to use RMON support provided by T-MAC, you may
perform the additional steps described in 10.6.6, “Collecting and Displaying
RMON Groups Using T-MAC” on page 230.
You can use the following example to obtain information about the T-MAC and
how its configured:
8260A> show module 6.2 verbose
In this example, the T-MAC is installed on the 18-port active per-port switching
token-ring media module which is installed in slot 6. The output from this
command is shown in Figure 40 on page 69.
