FDDI Management
6-8 Viewing FDDI Information
TIP
You can use any SNMP Set Request or MIB tool to edit the Connection Policy for your
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
“Reject X-Y” 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).
