FDDI Management

You can use any SNMP Set Request or MIB tool to edit the Connection Policy for your

TIP device by setting the fddimibSMTConnectionPolicy MIB OID (part of the MIBII FDDI Transmission MIB (RFC1512). fddimibSMTConnectionPolicy is simply a 16-bit integer value (ranging from 32768 to 65535) that corresponds to the connection policy (in the ÒReject X-YÓ format, where X represents a port on the FDDI Switch Module, and Y represents the attaching node).

To set the connection policy for the device, total the bit values corresponding to

the desired connection policy according to the table below, and then use your SNMP Set Request or Mib tool to set the value for the appropriate SMT index. For example, to set a connection policy that disallowed the undesirable A-A or B-B connections you would set the fddimibSMTConnectionPolicy MIB OID to 32,801:

32,768 (reject M-M, required) + 32 (reject B-B) + 1 (reject A-A).
