Configuration Views Setting Redundant Circuits
SPECTRUM Enterprise Manager Page67 Cabletron Ethernet Hubs
To set redundant circuits for the devices modeled
in SPECTRUM, follow these steps:
1 Click on the icon to select it.
2 If contact has been established and the icon is
green, bring up the Configuration View.
3 From the Configuration View menu, click on
the Redundancy
RedundancyRedundancy
Redundancy button. In the Redundancy
View window, click on Redundancy Table
Redundancy TableRedundancy Table
Redundancy Table.
4 Choose any circuit from the Circuit Name list
that appears by double-clicking on it. A
Redundancy Information View window
appears.
5 Set the Retry Count to any value between 1
and 10, inclusive.
6 For any of the devices other than the IRM-3
enter the Ethernet address of the secondary
hub device, which will be polled, in the MAC
Address Add field. This field should allow you
to enter the address in any of the following
formats (where X is any hexadecimal value
from 0 to F):
• XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX
• XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
• XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
For the IRM-3, enter the IP address of the
secondary hub device, which will be polled, in the
IP Address Add field. You should enter this
address in the format NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN (where
NNN is a decimal number from 0 to 255).
7 Enter the Board Port Instance for the primary
connection. For example, if the primary
connection is on port 4 of a module in the
device’s fifth slot, the Board Port Instance
would be 5.4. (Modules on these devices start
from 1 and can go up to 8 depending on the
MMAC type.)
8 Change the Port Circuit Status to Active
