Technology Description, page 5-1 Inventory and Information Model Objects (IMOs), page 5-1 Network Topology, page 5-2 Service Alarms, page 5-2

Technology Description
Token Ring
Token Ring refers to a Local Area Network (LAN) products covered by the IEEE 802.5 standard that unlike Ethernet, uses a ring topology whereby the data is sent from one station to the next and so on around the ring until it ends up back where it started, with a control token circulating around the ring controlling access. The IEEE 802.5 standard provide both Media Access Control (MAC) (Layer 2), with Addressing, Access and Flow Control attributes, and various Physicals (Layer 1) definitions, with Media, Clocking and Speed attributes.

Inventory and Information Model Objects (IMOs)


This section includes the following tables:

Token Ring Interface


The following Data Link layer Token Ring Interface object, is bound by its Containing Termination Points attribute to a Physical Layer Token Ring Physical object, and is primarily being accessed by Network layer such IP Interface, bound by its Contained Connection Termination Points attribute. It is also being accessed by Bridging Entity.

Attribute Name MAC Address IANA Type Contained Connection Termination Points

Attribute Description Media Access Control (MAC) address IANA type of the sub/layer Bound Connection Termination Points

Scheme Polling Interval Any N/A Any Any Configuration N/A N/A N/A

Containing Termination Points Underlying termination points (connection or physical)

Token Ring Physical


The following Physical layer Token Ring Physical object is bound by its Containing Termination Points attribute to a Port Connector object, and is accessed solely by the Data Link layer Token Ring Interface bound by its Contained Connection Termination Points attribute.
