Wh a t Is in Th is Ch a p ter  
This chapter describes the SPECTRUM Management Module for the DEC  
GigaSwitch. It also provides the model type names assigned to the DEC  
GigaSwitch in SPECTRUM. The model type name refers to the template used  
to specify attributes, actions, and associations for device models in  
SPECTRUM.  
DEC Giga Sw itch Ma n a gem en t Mod u le  
The DEC GigaSwitch Management Module supports all DEC GigaSwitch  
device models managed through the SNMP advanced network management  
agent. SPECTRUM bases its management of these devices on the  
Management Information Base (MIB), which comes as part of the  
management module. The SPECTRUM model type name of the DEC  
GigaSwitch device is as follows:  
DE CGiga Sw itch : A DEC GigaSwitch data switch. SPECTRUM supports the  
Fiber GIGAswitch/FDDI System Linecard, 2-port (FGL-2), Switch Control  
Processor (SCP), and Clock cards. The DEC GigaSwitch allows for 14  
linecards to be installed into its back providing for a total of 32 simultaneous  
network connections.  
SPECTRUM supports the following firmware revisions:  
2.00, 2.10, 2.20.  
Support is currently available only for the FDDI GigaSwitch hub, but support  
for the ATM hub will be available in a future release.

SPECTRUM and the DEC GigaSwitch  
SP ECTRUM a n d th e DEC Giga Sw itch  
The DEC GigaSwitch Management Module model will allow modeling of the  
DEC GigaSwitch device.  
Supported Devices: GigaSwitch/FDDI  
Supported Cards: FGL2, SCP, Clock card  
Firmware Versions: 2.00, 2.10, 2.20  
If you are running a previous version of SPECTRUM, the following user  
interface aspects may differ from those in SPECTRUM version 4.0:  
NOTE  
• Order and names of menu selections  
Navigational features (mouse button functionality)  
DEC Giga Sw it ch Ap p lica t ion s  
The DEC GigaSwitch supports both common and device-specific applications.  
SPECTRUM management of the DEC GigaSwitch utilizes the following  
Management Information Bases (MIBs) which come as a part of the software  
module for the model type:  
• Internet MIB-II (RFC 1213)  
• IETF Bridge MIB (RFC 1286)  
• RFC 1285 (FDDI)  
• DEC Elan Vendor MIB (Version 2.7)  
• DEC GigaSwitch MIB (Version 1.0)  
The MIB-II, IETF Bridge MIB, and the FDDI applications are described in the  
Applications documentation.The DECGigaApp and the DECElanApp are the  
GigaSwitchs device-specific applications and are detailed in Chapter5, DEC-  
Specific Applications.

Device View  
Wh a t Is in Th is Ch a p ter  
This chapter describes the Gigaswitchs Logical. Interface and Physical Device  
views and how to utilize these views to manage and access information from  
the Gigaswitch module. The Logical Device view provides a logical  
representation of the Gigaswitch module and access to configuration and  
status information on the module itself, the Ring In and Ring Out ports, and  
the station ports.  
The Interface Device view displays interface icons for each of the linecards  
installed in theGigaSwitch, allowing you to set and gather information about  
each of the interfaces.  
The Physical Device view provides a physical representation of the Gigaswitch  
and allows access to configuration and status information for the Gigaswitch  
module.  
Logica l Device View  
This section describes the information available from the Gigaswitch Logical  
Device view.  
The following diagram illustrates how to access the Gigaswitchs Logical  
Device view and Figure 2-1 shows the modules Logical Device view. The  
Logical Device v iew provides access to detailed information about the  
Gigaswitch module. Figure 2-2 displays the Gigaswitch Logical Module and  
the menu selections available by double-clicking the left mouse button on each  
zone of the module.
