881.0. "More Non-zero VPI questions" by CGOOA::ras013p03.emo.dec.com::Crick () Wed Mar 26 1997 15:02

Further to the previous notes regarding non-zero VPI support, I need 
clarification on a couple of points:

1. Are there any restrictions on which slot in GIGAswitch/ATM the 4 port line 
card that is being used for non-zero VPI termination is placed.  
2. When will the ATMswitch 900 support non-zero termination and what 
restrictions will be placed on it's non-zero VPI support (ex. number of ports 
that can be used, etc).

Not that I am aware of, other than the obvious one (not in the clock slot).

Version 2.5 contains no support for non-zero VPIs on the ATMswitch 900.  As
to whether there will ever be support, you need to ask the product manager.
881.2No VP termination in ATMswitch 900; use 5-slot GIGAswitch/ATM...NPSS::WATERSI need an egg-laying woolmilkpig.Wed Mar 26 1997 16:413
  ATMswitch 900 will not support VP termination (nor VP switching).
  GIGAswitch/ATM supports VP termination now (for 3 shaped VPs per WAN port),
  with a greater number of VP terminations plus VP switching in the future.
881.3Any DIGITAL router with ATM card and VP termination available?KAMPUS::BRANDNERThat's noot eentiiirly aaacuuraate ...Fri Apr 04 1997 06:256
	As of today, do we (DIGITAL) have a router (specifically IP router)
	with an ATM interface which is capable of VP termination?

	Thanks,
