Station List

4-9

FDDI Management

The Stations Panel displays a list of the stations on the ring to which the selected 
SMT is connected, in ring sequence from the MAC, along with each station’s node 
class and current topology.

Note that the information displayed in the Station List is static once the window is 
opened; for updated information, click on the Refresh button.

If the number of nodes exceeds the panel size, scroll bars will appear will appear 
in the list box that will allow you to scroll through the station list to view the node 
of interest.

Information provided in the Stations Panel includes:

An index number assigned to each station that indicates its position on the ring in 
relation to the monitored SMT’s MAC address. The monitored SMT’s MAC is 
always the first entry (1) in the station list. 

Displays the 48-bit hardware address —

 

used for universal address assignment 

—

 

of the node inserted into the ring. These addresses are hardcoded into the 

device, and are not configurable. The address will appear in Canonical or MAC 
format, as currently selected.

Displays the type of ring device. Possible values are:

Station

Indicates an FDDI node capable of transmitting, receiving, and 
repeating data.

Concentrator

Indicates an FDDI node that provides attachment points to the 
ring for stations that are not directly connected to the dual ring.

Indicates the node’s MAC configuration topology.

Displays hardware address (in Canonical or MAC format, as currently selected) of 
each node’s upstream neighbor.
