Configuration Specifications
should be grouped together in the right-most slots of the MMAC as shown
in Figure A-3.
Single-ring MIMs still have the ability to segment FNB ring 1 (as shown in
Figure A-3.). They still view the FNB as having only one ring and are not
affected by the utilization of FNB rings 2, 3, or 4 by other MIMs in the
MMAC.
Port switching MIMs do not have the ability to wrap (segment) the FNB;
they are automatically and internally connected to the MIMs adjacent to
them via the MMAC chassis. However, a neighboring single-ring MIM
may wrap the connection between itself and a port-switching MIM to
isolate the port-switching MIMs from other MIMs in the hub.
