GIGAswitch/FDDI System

This document is a comprehensive manager's guide for the GIGAswitch/FDDI System, an IEEE 802.1d compliant bridge. It covers the following key areas:

• System Overview: Describes the modular hardware architecture, including logic modules (Linecards, SCP, CLK, CBS) and power/cooling modules, as well as management interfaces (Out-of-Band Management and SNMP).
• System Preparation: Provides step-by-step procedures to install, connect terminal management, set security, and assign network parameters.
• Firmware Upgrade: Detailed instructions for downloading and upgrading firmware on various modules using SNMP, including strategies for systems with backup SCPs and recovery for corrupt images.
• Filtering: Explains static and dynamic filtering concepts, including the creation of port pattern matrices and specific filter examples for security and traffic control.
• Diagnostics: An appendix providing detailed interpretations of module and power LEDs to assist in troubleshooting.
