Technical Notice
This document describes how to use Bay Networks™ Site Manager to configure a Model
5380 Ethernet Router or a Model 5580 Token Ring Router in a System 5000™ Hub.
This information supplements the instructions in the documentation set for Site Manager.
Note: You can configure a Model 5380 Ethernet Router or a Model 5580
Token Ring Router in a System 5000 Hub using the UNIX version of Site
Manager only. The UNIX version of Site Manager runs on the Sun
SPARCstation, HP 9000, and IBM RS/6000.

Configuring a Model 5380 Ethernet Router or a Model 5580Token
Ring Router on a System 5000 Hub
To configure a Model 5380 or 5580 Router on a System 5000 Hub:
1.
In the main Site Manager window, select Tools ➔ Configuration Manager, and
then choose an operating mode: Local File, Remote File, or Dynamic.
If you chose Local File, the Select Router Model window appears (Figure 1). If you
chose Remote File or Dynamic, the Configuration Manager window appears (see
Figure 2 on page 3).

2.
Click on System 5000 Hub in the Select Router Model window, and then click on
Confirm.
The Configuration Manager window appears (Figure 2).

3.
Click on Module 3 in the slot in which you want to configure the Model 5380 or
5580 Router.
Once you select the slot and module for the router, the Module List window appears
(Figure 3).
Note: Although the Configuration Manager window shows 14 slots, if you
have an ATM/PPX backplane you can configure Model 5380 and 5580 Routers
in Slots 6 through 14 only. If you do not have an ATM/PPX backplane, you can
configure the routers in any of the 14 slots.
As with Access Stack Nodes (ASN
™ s), you can “stack” up to four Model 5380
and 5580 Routers that you want Site Manager to recognize as a single router.
A stack requires the ATM/PPX backplane; therefore, you can install and
configure each router in the stack in any slot from Slot 6 through 14. If you
install more than one router in a chassis that does not have an ATM/PPX
backplane, Site Manager will not recognize the routers as a stack. In that case,
each router functions as a separate router.
Note: You can configure a Model 5380 and 5580 Router in Module 3 only. If
you attempt to configure either router model in Module 1 or 2, Site Manager
displays an error.

Click on the router model you want to configure, and then click on OK.
Site Manager redisplays the Configuration Manager window.
5.
In the same slot that you just specified for the router, select the module position of
the net module (if any) on the router.
Once you select the slot and module for the net module, the Module List window
appears (refer to Figure 3).
6.
Click on the net module you want to configure, and then click on OK.
Site Manager redisplays the Configuration Manager window.
Note: You can configure the net modules on a Model 5380 or 5580 Router in
Module 1 or 2 only. If you attempt to configure the net modules in Module 3,
Site Manager displays an error.

7.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to configure another net module on the router. If there are
no other net modules on the router, repeat Steps 3 through 6 to configure
additional routers (and net modules) in the hub.
