Adding/Replacing Brims; Testing The Micrommac - Cabletron Systems MicroMMAC-24E Installation Manual

3.6 ADDING/REPLACING BRIMS

To add or replace a Bridge/Router Interface Module (BRIM) in the
MicroMMAC, refer to the applicable BRIM user's guide.

3.7 TESTING THE MicroMMAC

Before installing the MicroMMAC in a live network, test the hub in a
controlled situation to ensure that it is bridging packets. Perform this test
with two workstations as shown in Figure 3-6.
To test the MicroMMAC, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the first workstation to a MicroMMAC network port, EPIM,
or BRIM.
2. Connect the second workstation to a MicroMMAC network port,
EPIM, or BRIM.
3. Designate the first workstation as a file server and the second
workstation as the client.
To configure a workstation as a file server or client, refer to the
NOTE
documentation included with the workstation.
4. Send packets between the two workstations to verify the proper
operation of the MicroMMAC.
A "ping" test of each workstation verifies that the MicroMMAC
NOTE
is operating properly.
