Configuring Token Ring Services
117344-A Rev. A 4-5
Using Site Manager
Complete the tasks in the following table to set the source for MAC addresses.
Specifying the Ring Speed
You can set the ring speed for a token ring interface to 4 or 16 Mb/s. By default,
the ring speed is 16 Mb/s.
If you use 16 Mb/s, the router enables the early token release protocol, which is
used extensively on 16 Mb/s media. In the unlikely event that you want to disable
early token release over 16 Mb/s token ring media, disable early token release as
described in the next section.
Using the BCC
To set the ring speed for a token ring interface, access an existing token ring line
service and enter:
speed
<value>
<value>
is either 4 Mb or 16 Mb.
For example, to set the ring speed to 16 Mb:
box> tokenring slot 9 connector 1
fddi/11/1> speed 16
