  • Method and apparatus mapping the physical topology of EDDI networks
    Patent number: 5481674
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating a topology map representing the physical connectivity between devices on an FDDI network. A network management station constructs a connectivity table by first selecting a port which feeds a medium access controller (medium access controller) and whose external connectivity is unknown. The network management station then determines the upstream neighbor medium access controller of the medium access controller fed by the selected port. The network management station then determines the port which is fed by the output of the upstream neighbor medium access controller. The network management station then enters data into the table indicating an external connection between the selected port and the port which is fed by the output of the upstream neighbor medium access controller.
