IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Speed, Accessing the Interface Monitoring Process

Con®guring Token-Ring Network Interfaces

This switch is completely independent of whether this interface is providing source routing via the SRT forwarder. The default setting is enabled.

Some stations cannot properly receive frames with a Source Routing RIF on them. This is especially common among NetWare drivers. Disabling source routing in this situation will allow you to communicate with these stations.

Source routing should be enabled only if there are source-routing bridges on this ring that you want to bridge IP, IPX, and AppleTalk Phase 2 packets through. Source routing must also be enabled so LLC test response messages can be returned.

Syntax:

source-routingenable

disable

Speed

Use the speed command to change data speed. The default speed is 4 Mbps.

Enter the speed command followed by the speed-value (in Mbps).

Syntax:

speed speed-value

speed-value

The speed to which you are setting the token-ring interface.

Valid values: 4 or 16 Mbps

Default value: 4 Mbps

Accessing the Interface Monitoring Process

To display the Token-Ring monitoring prompt (TKR>), enter the network command followed by the interface number of the Token-Ring interface. For example:

+network 0 TKR>

Use the list devices command at the Config> prompt to display a list of interface numbers con®gured on the router.

Follow the procedure described in ªAccessing the Network Interface Con®guration Processº on page 15 to access the interface monitoring process for the interface described in this chapter. Once you have accessed the desired interface monitoring process, you can begin entering monitoring commands.
