Configuring LNM Services

REM, RPS, and CRS are MAC sublayer servers, and each has its own functional
address on the physical LAN it helps to observe or control (Table 1-1).
LRM and LBS are not MAC sublayer servers, and hence have no MAC functional
address. LRM and LBS are addressed by means of LLC2 sessions and a protocol
internal to the LNM Servers interface.
Ring stations send frames onto the ring to report various conditions. These are
MAC frames, and are sent to a particular functional address. The functional
addresses of the management servers REM, RPS, and CRS are reserved by IBM
for this purpose. For more information about functional addresses, refer to the
IBM Token Ring Network Architecture Reference.
Figure 1-1
shows the five servers as LLC and MAC sublayer components
configured on a token ring circuit. The servers are configured on the same circuit
as the source routing bridge interface for the locally attached ring.
