Controlling Token Ring MIM Management Mode

Token Ring MIMs can run in one of two modes:

Auto (AUT)

Auto mode means that the MIM is using the hardware configuration settings; it is not being controlled. If you change an operating parameter (ring speed, bypass state, and so forth) on a module in Auto mode, the mode changes to Management to indicate that it is being managed.

Management (MGT)

Management mode means that management takes precedence over the default hardware settings on the board. If you toggle back to Auto mode, the hardware default settings will be restored, and any administrative actions you have taken to alter those settings will be undone.

To change a module’s management mode:

1.Click mouse button 1 on the Module Management Mode box (at the bottom of the module) to toggle between AUT and MGT.

or

1.Click mouse button 3 in the Module Name, FNB State, or Port Display Form box to display the Module menu.

2.Drag down to Mode, drag right to Auto or Management, and then release.

Note that there is no Auto mode available for the management board.
