929.0. "VNswitch 900EA and AGL2+ with RFC 1483 FDDI Bridge Support" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Youda Kopel) Sun Feb 16 1997 20:56

Hi there ,

I would like someone to confirm interconnection between GS/FDDI with AGL2+ ATM
card using E3 mod PHY connecting across E3 Microwave service to a remote 
VNswitch 900EA also with E3 mod PHY.

I know that the 900EA support RFC 1483 , allowing as many as 16 bridge tunnels
to be created on its ATM port. Also I read that the GS/FDDI with AGL2+ line
card
encapsulates FDDI packets using RFC 1483 and it expects to be talking to
another
bridge using RFC 1483 encapsulation at the VNswitch 900EA end.

Please confirm this ,,

Many thanks in advance ,

Youda Kopel ,
NPB Melb.

929.1VNswitch Product manager is Alice Hassey NPSS::RLEBLANCMon Feb 17 1997 16:576
    
    	My sources in VNswitch say this is not yet supported. However, if
     you need to have this addressed or more questions answered I would 
     strongly recommend calling Alice Hassey DELNI::HASSEY dtn (226-7535),
     she is the Product Manager.

    I hope it will be supported by VNswitchEA V1.5, because in all the NPBU
    propaganda being put out, it sure makes you think that it will work.

929.3Important issue, wrong place to discuss it.NPSS::RLEBLANCTue Feb 18 1997 08:348
    
    Though I understand your position, it will not get the attention it
    deserves in this notesfile. Please send all comments to Alice Hassey.
