Specific Information
Introduction
This appendix contains local management information that is specific to the 9F310-02
and 9F315-02 FDDI Switch Modules.
Default Interface Codes
The Default Interface field on the General Configuration Screen, Figure 3-3, allows
you to enter a number (1 through 5). Each number represents a default interface for
the selected module. The table below lists the numbers you can enter, each number’s
corresponding interface, and a brief description of that interface. The default for this
field is NONE, meaning no default interface selected.

1 SMB1 1 mbps System Management Bus
2 SMB10 10 mbps System Management Bus

FNB Resource Configuration Codes
The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 FDDI Switch Modules is capable of bridging/switching
any three, of five possible interfaces, depending on the way you configure the
module. The module’s INB connection is fixed (not user-configured).
The FNB Resource Configuration Screen allows you to connect both front panel ports,
both FNB ports, or one front panel and one FNB port to the bridge/switch.
Redirecting one or both of the module’s front panel FDDI interfaces to the FNB
backplane creates an INB to FNB bridge/switch product that allows migration from
FNB modules to INB modules.
The FNB Resource Configuration Screen lists all the possible connections that the
9F310-02 and 9F315-02 FDDI Switch Modules can support on the FNB, displays the
current connection, and allows you to change the connection. Table 2 lists and
describes the FDDI connections from which you can select.

Connections Description
1 FNB1 <-> FNB2 The two FDDI Networks on the
backplane (FNB-1 and FNB-2)
are connected to the same
bridge/switch.
2 FNB1 <-> FRONT2 The FNB-1 on the backplane and
the FDDI-2 port on the module’s
front panel are connected to the
same bridge/switch.
3 FNB2 <-> FNB1 The two FDDI Networks on the
backplane (FNB-1 and FNB-2)
are connected to the same
bridge/switch.
4 FRONT1 <-> FNB1 The FDDI-1 port on the module’s
front panel and the FNB-1 on the
backplane are connected to the
same bridge/switch.
5 FNB2 <-> FRONT2 The FNB-2 on the backplane and
the FDDI-2 port on the module’s
front panel are connected to the
same bridge/switch.
6 FRONT1 <-> FNB2 The FDDI-1 port on the module’s
front panel and the FNB-2 on the
backplane are connected to the
same bridge/switch.
7 FRONT1 <-> FRONT2 The module’s two front panel
ports (FDDI-1 and FDDI-2) are
connected to the same
bridge/switch.
