FDDI Controllers and IEEE 802.10 Do we envisage supporting this standard in terms of the model for providing compliant security services? - is there support in this product set already? Can anybody suggest contacts or pointers to futher this enquiry? Kind regards all Justin Sheriff

IEEE 802.10 is the protocol whereby LAN traffic will carry
a VLAN identifier, allowing for selective switching of packets
with this identifier.
At this time, this is not and will not be supported in the FDDI
controller device drivers.

Thanks Brenda.. So is it fair to say that IEEE 802.10 implementation is technology specific to switching products and as a result it would be very unlikely to support FDDI controllers. I need I guess, to look at GIGAswitch/FDDI & VNswitch? Kind regards Justin | |||||

No, it is not a technology restriction. VLAN switching could be
supported in end nodes, but we do not choose to implement that support
at this time.
Other products in NPB do support VLAN switching, including those
involved in the enVISN architecture. You can consult NPB's homepage at
www.networks.digital.com to find out more.
