The LLC service allows LLC frames to be sent and received on the MAC. LLC
frames are all data frames transmitted on the network. If there is something
wrong on your network, you may want to turn off data (user) traffic for a
MAC by disabling LLC Service. Although you have disabled data traffic from
the MAC, the MAC still participates in neighbor notification and is visible to
network management.
To enable or disable LLC service for the MACs in the LANplex system:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi mac llcService
You are prompted for a slot related to the MAC.

You can only assign a MAC to a new station when the FDDI backplane
paths are set for multi-station mode. If you access this menu item when the
FDDI backplane paths are set for single station mode, the following
message appears:
The FDDI backplane path mode is set to "singleStation" so
all three backplane paths are part of the same station.
This menu item is only useful if the FDDI backplane path
mode is set to "multiStation".
