Using the TRMMIM Hub View

Navigating through the Hub View, monitoring hub activity; managing the hub at the device, module, and port levels

The heart of the SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the TRMMIM is the Hub View, a graphical interface that gives you access to many of the functions that provide control over the TRMMIM-managed hub.

NOTE

Note that the Hub View application only allows you to control boards and ports in the domain of a single management module. If you have another management module installed in the chassis to the left of the monitored TRMMIM, boards that are under the domain of that module (i.e., Media Interface Modules – or MIMs – to its left) will still display in the Hub View of the monitored TRMMIM; however, only boards within the domain of the monitored TRMMIM can be correctly controlled. Flexible Network Bus (FNB) connections across the MMAC chassis will be displayed regardless of modules installed; however, only FNB connections within the domain of the monitored module can be controlled. For example, if you had a TRMMIM and a TRBMIM installed in the same chassis with the TRBMIM to the left of the TRMMIM, and you were modeling the TRMMIM in a Hub View, you would have to create a separate Hub View for the TRBMIM to control the FNB connections and manage MIMs to the left of the TRBMIM. However, even while modeling the TRMMIM, you would still be able to view the boards and FNB connections across the entire MMAC.

Using the Hub View

There are two ways to open the Hub View: if you are working within a network management system, you can select the Hub View option from the icon menu; speciﬁc directions for creating a TRMMIM icon and accessing the icon menu can be found in the appropriate Installing and Using SPECTRUM for... guide. If you are running the TRMMIM module in a stand-alone mode, type the following at the command line:
