Managing FDDI Networks with SunNet Manager
For detailed information on how to use SunNet Manager to manage the
various components of your network, refer to the SunNet Manager User’s Guide.
The SunNet Manager agents for SunFDDI/P areused to recover FDDI statistics
and SMT frame information. For detailed instructions on how to interpret this
data, refer to the ANSI/FDDI standards listed in “FDDI Conformance” on
page 2.

▼To Set Up the SunNet Manager Console

1. Log in as root or become superuser.
2. Start the SunNet Manager console, and initialize the runtime
management database (MDB).
3. Use HeadStart to begin discovering the nodes in your network, or use
BasicStart to build your own database with the console’s graphical editor.
Note that the Discover facility will only fully recognize the Ethernet (le)
interfaces in your network.
4. Modify the component properties of each SunFDDI/P station in your
network.
Use the scroll bar to show all of the properties associated with the station.
Youmust enter either the host name or the MAC address associated with
the SunFDDI/P interface in the last fieldin the list of properties. If you enter
a host name, it must be registered in the NIS/NIS+ map or in the
/etc/hosts file on each machine in your network. If you enter a MAC
address, it must be entered in ring format.
5. Click SELECT on the check box associated with each SunNet Manager
agent that you want to communicate with the station.
If you enable the SunFDDI/P proxyagent (pf_fddismt7_2), you must also
specify the host name (or MAC address) of the target FDDI station from
which the proxy agent will request information.
