    Chapter 1 Introduction The 9A128-01 and 9A129-01 ATM Access Modules (shown in Figure 1-1) provide an ATM Uplink that allows connecting an external ATM network to the MMAC-Plus. The 9A128-01 and 9A129-01 are used to connect an external ATM network or workstation to one of the two FNB networks, FNB-1 or FNB-2, on the MMAC-Plus FNB backplane.
  • Page 9 Introduction Hardware Bridging Logic Hardware frame filter/forward logic increases the bridging performance of the 9A128-01 and 9A129-01, allowing the modules to achieve higher throughputs (up to 20,000 packets per second). Spanning Tree Algorithm The 9A128-01 and 9A129-01 support both IEEE 802.1d and DEC Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) protocols.

  • Page 18: Chapter 3 Operation

    Chapter 3 Operation The 9A128-01 and 9A129-01 provide bridging between the front panel SONET ATM interface and one of the FDDI rings on the FNB backplane (FNB-1 or FNB-2) as shown in Figure 3-1. The factory default configuration is bridging between the front panel and FNB-1.

  • Page 19: Flexible Network Bus (Fnb)

    Operation Flexible Network Bus (FNB) The FNB consists of two dual FDDI networks, FNB-1 and FNB-2, providing up to 400 Mbps of data bandwidth. These FDDI networks are 100% ANSI FDDI-compliant supporting SMT (version 7.3), MAC, PHY, and PMD standards. This allows the FNB to traverse multiple MMAC-Plus systems, or connect to any ANSI FDDI-compliant device, through standard A/B port connections.
