Using the Physical View Windows for the ETWMIM 2-103
Bridging
The left-hand side of the window indicates the results of the current FNB
conÞguration, with an X next to the appropriate state of the FNB connection:
Connected Left, Connected Right, Bypassed, Right Connection Fault, or Left
Connection Fault. For example, if you choose Connect Right and Disconnect Left,
then click OK, the Connected Right and Left Connect Fault Þelds will appear with
an X next to them.
Active Monitor
This Þeld allows you to conÞgure whether or not the ETWMIMÕs onboard
management station will engage in the active monitor contention process, which
occurs as part of the recovery procedures initiated after certain ring error
situations.
If you select Enable, the station will contend in the process used to establish a ring
station as an Active Monitor.
If you select Disable, the station will not contend, even if the contention process is
activated for the ring. Note that if the ETWMIM is currently serving as the active
monitor, it will continue in that role until the next contention.
The box to the left of the choices will reßect your actions by displaying On when
the Active Monitor has been enabled, and Off when the Active Monitor has been
disabled.
