Selecting a Network

CoreBuilder 5000 media modules provide module-level or port-level
configuration flexibility using the CoreBuilder 5000 hub's unique
architecture.
This section describes how to assign (collectively or individually) the
following to any of 10 backplane networks (or up to 11 isolated
module segments):

Assigning Modules

Assigning Ports

Refer to the CoreBuilder 5000 Integrated System Hub Installation and
Operation Guide, Chapter 1, Introduction for a complete discussion of
the CoreBuilder 5000 hub architecture.
Assigning Modules
The DIP switch settings on the media module assign all ports
(collectively) on the module to network 1 through 10 or to an isolated
segment. Network management, however, assigns one or more ports to
a network. If you have a CoreBuilder 5000 TR NMC, Network
Management also assigns the NMC to a network.
The following command assigns a module or submodule to a network:
SET MODULE { slot . subslot } NETWORK
The CoreBuilder 5000 TR NMC Card is automatically configured as
subslot 2 on the media module. The default setting, subslot 1, refers to
the media module.
Assigning Ports
For modules that support port switching, the following network
management command assigns a port to a network:
slot.port
SET PORT {
{token_ring_1.._10}
{isolated_1..._11}
{isolated}
{token_ring_1.._10}
} NETWORK
{isolated_1..._11}
