10.6 Monitoring Functions Supported In 8260

As mentioned in Chapter 4, "8260 Distributed Management Architecture" on
page 35, the DMM uses the facilities provided by the T-MAC and E-MAC
daughter cards to interface to the backplane segments. This allows DMM to use
the services of T-MAC and E-MAC to monitor the network segments to which the
T-MAC or E-MAC is assigned and collect various statistical information about the
segment and the stations attached to these segments.
To monitor each backplane or isolated segment, a T-MAC (for token-ring
segments) or E-MAC (for Ethernet segments) is required. You can use the

8260 Multiprotocol Intelligent Switching Hub
source routing bridges. Transparent bridges do
not use this field.
