1218.0. "Promiscuous mode DEFTA on OSF?" by CERN::BOTHNER (Tor Bothner (CERN account consultant)) Fri Jan 28 1994 10:49

Hi,

can a DEFTA be put into promiscuous mode on Alpha/OSF?

Note 1044.* indicates that the HW is capable of it, but does OSf support it?

thanks,
--tor

1218.2	To run network monitoring	CERN::BOTHNER	Tor Bothner (CERN account consultant)	`Mon Jan 31 1994 02:22`	5
	The reason this client wants promicious mode FDDI is to support his own home grown network management/monitoring. thanks, --tor

	Shouldn't be a problem. He can use the packetfilter to do that.
