Chapter 3: Local Management

Wrap-B - The flow of the primary ring is entering through port B (secondary in) and is wrapped by the MAC, causing the ring to exit through port B (primary out). Port A is disconnected from the ring. If the HSIM-F6 MAC Configuration reads “Wrap-B” the ring has lost the redundancy of the secondary ring due to the wrapped condition. This configuration should be repaired, as additional problems could isolate stations from the FDDI ring.
