1254.0. "FDDI questions" by SCASS1::TURNERG () Wed Jan 29 1997 12:17

    I have a customer who is installing a number of 4100's and 1000's they
    all have DEFPA's. They want to know if they can connect these system
    through the DEFPA's to a FDDI hub and then connect the hub to the
    outside world. I am assuming they can do this. They will need to have
    seperate IP addresses for each system so they can get to each system.
    
    Another question they had is can they connect one DEFPA to another 
    DEFPA without connecting to a FDDI hub.

Of course they can do this.

With two SAS (single attachment station) DEFPA's, they can connect them point
to point.  With two or more DAS (dual attachment station) DEFPA's, they can
connect them in a ring ("daisy chaining") without the use of an FDDI
concentrator.
