CONFIGURING

3.1 INTRODUCTION

You can conﬁgure the Token Ring module using the Local Console Manager (LCM), which allows you to monitor, manage, and conﬁgure your ATX through an out-of-band RS-232 connection. You can also use any SNMP compliant network management system.

For more details about LCM, see your ATX User Guide. For details about the other network management software, refer to the product’s documentation.

The following attributes are conﬁgurable using LCM:

•Speed of the Token Ring network (4 or 16 Mbps)

•Port's IP address for originating and receiving IP packets

•Enabling/disabling a port's Transparent Spanning Tree, Source Routing or Source Routing Transparent mode

•Protocol translations

Additionally, the following attributes are conﬁgurable using network management software (refer to the network management software documentation for speciﬁc instructions):

•48-bit unique MAC address

•Alarm thresholds for hardware errors

•Parameters for diagnostic loopback testing of a port

Filtering normally occurs as part of the Transparent Spanning Tree and Source Routing algorithms. In addition, conﬁgurable criteria may be established for ﬁltering, to allow greater management control for security or network congestion reasons. All conﬁgured ﬁltering criteria are
