Chapter 7. Description of the IBM
6611
Model
170
The IBM 6611 Network Processor Model 170 (Model
170) is designed to be placed on the floor. The
Model 170 contains a 32-bit processor, a small
computer systems interface (SCSI) adapter, 16 MB
of RAM, a 3.5-inch diskette drive, a 355-MB disk
drive, and network adapters.
The Model 170 does not have a keyboard or display
screen. You can attach an ASCII terminal to the
Model 170 to use the Multiprotocol Network
Program System Manager functions, or you can use
a workstation attached to an Internet Protocol (IP)
network. The front operator panel of the Model 170
contains a 3-digit display, a Key Lock/Reset Button
Assembly, and a 3.5-inch diskette drive.
The Multiprotocol Network Program is initially
configured by first running the Multiprotocol
Network Program Configuration Program on an IBM
Personal System/2 (PS/2) or RISC System/6000
workstation and then transporting the configuration
file to the Model 170 on a 3.5-inch diskette.
Subsequent configuration updates can be applied
from a terminal or a RISC System/6000 workstation
attached to the IP network.
Remote monitoring and control can be performed
via communications with a SNMP network manager
station, such as the IBM NetView/6000 workstation.
