FDDI Management
6-2 Viewing FDDI Information•Connection Policy — This window shows the types of connections between the four
FDDI PHY (port) types — A, B, M, and S — that will be allowed by the SMT entity.
•Statio n List — With this window you can see the configuration of the ring on which
the SMT entity resides, including number of nodes, node addresses (both Canonical
and MAC), node class, and current ring topology.
•Performance — This window lets you view the number of frames transmitted and
received on the ring as detected by the selected SMT entity, along with error and lost
frames, and the number of ring initializations.
•FDDI Statistics — This window allows you to view various traffic-related statistics
for each SMT entity present on the device.
To access FDDI information (except FDDI Statistics):
1. In the Device View window, click on FDDI.
2. Click on the SMT entity of interest and then right to reveal the FDDI menu
(Figure 6-1).
