Using the TRMMIM Hub View

NOTE

Graphing capabilities are provided by an application that is included in HP Network Node Manager and IBM NetView; therefore, graphs are only available when SPMA is run in conjunction with one of these network management platforms. If you are running SPMA in a stand-alone mode or in conjunction with SunNet Manager, no graphing capabilities are available and no graph-related options will be displayed on buttons or menus. Note that the screens displayed in this guide will include the graph-related options where they are available; please disregard these references if they do not apply.

Launch the Security application, so that you can establish safeguards against unauthorized stations attempting to insert into the ring. This application is described thoroughly in the Ring Security Configuration chapter.

NOTE

The IP Address Table option in the Device menu (shown in Figure 2-2, grayed out) is not supported for the TRMMIM.

If you need to call Cabletron’s Technical Support about a problem with the Hub View application, you’ll need the information provided in the Info window:

Token Ring Device Hub View program version

Token Ring Device firmware revision

Clicking mouse button 1 on the Hub View Quit button closes all Hub View application windows; any open applications which can also be accessed from the command line will remain open.
