Hi I have been asked the following question from a customer can any help. Thanks Peter. In order to ascertain network connectivity of both MARVIN (8200) and ZAIPHOD (2100) I need to know from Digital that the 2 servers have support for the following features if not what alternate compatible features do they support and their availability. FDDI NIC for 8200/2100 does it support IEEE ratified 802.10 vlan tagging for a direct FDDI attachment ? CDDI NIC support for the same purpose ?

I have no idea how the FDDI NIC is impacted by 802.10. Perhaps one of
the ATM-knowledgeable folks can chime in. If the FDDI hardware does
support this, you can rest assured that there wouldn't be a difference
between the fiber and UTP (what you're calling "CDDI") options.

IEEE 802.10 has NOT ratified any VLAN tagging methods....802.10 HAS
ratified a standard for shared LAN and MAN security and encryption of
data. Cisco is trying to force the 802.10 working group to use 802.10
tagging since that is what they use in their Fusion architecture. So it
sounds like Cisco is slinging some more FUD to this customer. In fact,
Cisco is probably the main cause for causing a roadblock in the VLAN
standardization process.
