    At an FRX8000 INM Switch in the operational network, database records (described in the Netlink FRX8000 User Guide) must be created for the new node, so the software will know the node type, hardware present in the node, types of devices connected to the node, and the information necessary for proper routing and addressing of data among user devices.

  • Page 14: Local Configuration Requirements

    Parameters for Trunk Port Configuration Several types of trunk can be configured in an FRX8000. Configuring a trunk locally requires specification of parameter values that will match the corresponding trunk port record in the FRX8000 database.
