Configuring FDDI Frame Translation Settings 6-13

FDDI Applications
%Util
The percentage of utilization of available bandwidth by the indicated SMT over
the current poll interval; the percentage is calculated by dividing the actual
number of transmitted bytes/sec into the maximum number of bytes/sec that
could be transmitted (125,000,000 bytes/sec potential on a 100 Megabit/second
ring).

Setting the FDDI Statistics Poll Rate

1. Click on the clock symbol ( ) next to the Poll Rate (sec) text box. The New
Timer Interval text box, Figure 6-7, will appear.

2. Highlight the hour field in the New Timer Interval text box and enter a new
hour value or use the arrow keys to scroll to change the hour, as desired. The
time is given in a 24-hour hh:mm:ss format.
3. Repeat step 2 to change the minutes and seconds fields, as desired.
4. Click OK when you are finished entering new information. The new Poll Rate
you have set is now entered.
The FDDI Statistics window will refresh, and the new time interval will take effect
immediately.
Configuring FDDI Frame Translation Settings
The HSIM-F6 interface must be configured to translate packets from an FDDI
frame format to an Ethernet frame format (and vice versa) when bridging packets
between FDDI and Ethernet networks. The Frame Translation window lets you
set the parameters for frame translation.
To access the FDDI Translation window (Figure6-8):
1. In the Chassis View window, click on FDDI to display the FDDI menu.
2. Click on Frame Translation.
