CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Switch Configuration
Operation Mode
The port operation mode. Possible values are as follows:
•
Auto
(default. Only HDX and FDX modes can be automatically detected.)
•
HDX port
•
HDX station
•
FDX port
•
FDX station
•
RI/RO
(on CrossFire 8600 only on ports 19 and 20 and on fiber expansion modules,
on CrossFire 8605 on all 20 fiber ports and on fiber expansion modules)
•
Passive
(this value is not user-selectable, and will be displayed if the port has been
selected as a passive monitoring port on the
Switched Port Analyzer
screen).
➽ Note:
Connecting to other Non IEEE 802.5j compliant fiber devices:
When connecting ports on the CrossFire 8605 or on a fiber module (CrossFire
8611) to non IEEE 802.5j compliant devices (typically older fiber equipment such
as the Olicom OC-3610 CAU), the switch fiber ports should manually be
configured to RI/RO mode in order to make sure, that a connection can be
established. If the other fiber equipment supports FDX connections (such as the
CrossFire 8100 Token-Ring Switch), the switch fiber ports should manually be set
to
FDX port
mode in order to make an FDX fiber connection.
➽ Note
: When connecting one switch to another switch using the CrossFire 8611
UEM, one end of the fiber connection must be manually configured as
ADAPTER,
and the other end as PORT in the
Port Configuration
menu.
Forwarding Mode
Forwarding mode that will be used to transmit frames. Possible values are
auto
,
cut-
through
, and
store & forward
. The default is
auto
. If the forwarding mode is set to
auto
, the actual mode will depend on the number of errors that occur during the
sampling interval. If the error rate is below the error low threshold, then
cut-through
mode is used. If the error rate is above the error high threshold, then
store & forward
is used. The
store & forward
mode is always used for ports with a media speed of
4 Mbps.
Priority Threshold
The highest Token-Ring frame priority that will go to the low priority transmit
queue. Possible values are
0
–
7
. The default value is
3
).
