1660.0. "Help with config query" by GEM::NORTHAM (Not another office move) Thu Apr 27 1995 16:38


    Can someone confirm if the following is a supported configuration  
    and will work.
    Customer is running OpenVMS V6.1-1H2.

    Customer has;


	AlphaServer 1000 4/200, wants to use a DEFPA, 
	
	from the DEFPA into a 

	CISCO WSC1202 switch

	out of the CISCO WSC1202 switch to some 

	AlphaStations connected via ethernet.


    I know nothing about this Cisco box, the customer tells me it has two
    FDDI connections and 8 ethernet connections.
    Customer wants us to confirm that he will be able to boot the AlphaStations
    off of the AlphaServer in this configuration.

   I have read that with patch kit AXPLAN03_061 the DEFPA adapter will be 
   supported by OpenVMS AXP V6.1 upwards.
   Are there ant known issues with this sort of configuration.


   John.

SYS$FWDRIVER.EXE is provided in AXPLAN03_061 for those customers willing to
run the unsupported driver and hardware until upgrading to V6.2.  It works
but it requires manual configuration which is described in another note
1652.1
