CAUTION: When you change the FDDI backplane path mode and reboot
the system, you reset the station and path assignments of all MACs and
ports to the default values.
To set the FDDI backplane path mode:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi backplane
The following description and prompt appears:
The FDDI backplane paths can be assigned in one of two
ways:
singleStation:The three paths are used as the primary,
secondary, and local paths for a single
FDDI station (station 1).
multiStation:The three paths are used as the primary
paths for three different FDDI stations
(stations 1, 2, and 3).
Enter new value (singleStation,multiStation)
[singleStation]:
2 At the prompt, enter
If you are changing to multi-station mode, the following description and
prompt are displayed:
The system must be rebooted for the new mode to take
effect.
When the system has rebooted, each FDDI MAC and port that
connects to a backplane path will belong to FDDI station 1
(whose primary path corresponds to backplane path 1). If
you wish to configure any one of these MACs or ports to
backplane path 2 or 3, you will have to assign it to the
corresponding FDDI station using the "station" menu option
in the "mac" or "port" menu.
If you are changing to single station mode, the following description is
displayed:
The system must be rebooted for the new mode to take
effect.
In either case, you are prompted to reboot the system:
