1103.0. "STP and DBxxx ?" by EVTAI1::CHARTIER () Mon Oct 04 1993 12:58

    
    Just a small question !
    
    Is it possible to switch off Spanning Tree Protocol on DECbridge 
    5xx or 6xx ( as we can do on Translan 3xx...) ???
                                 
    Thank's in advance,

    Not as far as I know.  It certainly is something you should avoid!
    What are you trying to do that makes you want to turn it off?

1103.2I need it..BRAT::BUKOWSKIWed Oct 06 1993 14:3912
    
    For those of use whom know the implications, and have the need to
    create domains, becuase our management is putting us in the positions
    where we need to seriously think of vary large MAN's, I think it is
    a neccessary feature.  I know that current DEC products currently
    do not allow this, but I am told by my field test sponsors of my 
    GIGAswitch, that this feature will be implemented on their product.
    I just hope that the DEChub 900 develpoment team provides this feature.
    
    my 2 cents,
    Mike

I'm sorry, but I can't make heads or tails out of what you said.  Could you
try that again?

I don't think it would be all that hard to implement this, but I'm not about
to support doing so in the absence of a solid technical reason why it should
be done.
