Will ULTRIX support the mop-protocol for triggering, remote booting ... etc.
on the FDDI adapter
a) for nodes on the ring
b) for nodes on an ethernet connected through a bridge.

(after which is will be MOP V4 and V3). > b) for nodes on an ethernet connected through a bridge. Yes, starting with the first release of ULTRIX that supports FDDI. It will be MOP V3 until DECnet-ULTRIX Phase V is released. | |||||

Caveat... "triggering" depends on whether the target hardware supports that. None of the current FDDI adapters do. paul | |||||

Sorry about that. The DEMFA (a.k.a. XFA, the FDDI to XMI adapter) DOES recognize MOP Trigger messages. The DS5000 adapter, though, does not. paul | |||||
