Hello,
Given the following picture....
----------
| Director|
----------
|
| lan 1
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
--------------
| LB 200 |
--------------
|
| lan 2
------------------------------------------------
1) Can the Lanbridge 200 be setup such that it monitors
the activity on lan 2 without forwarding any packets between the two lans?
2) How "granular" can the the bridge get as to traffic types?
For example, a customer wants to know the % or # of a certain
type of TCP/IP packet.
3) Can you do anything like the Vitalink and do pattern matching??
Thanks!
Peter

Peter,
You can put the LANbridge 200 in manual filter mode, then add a
forwarding entry for specific addresses you wish to allow through the
bridge.
You should be able to monitor LAN 2 without allowing packets across,
but I haven't tried it. Perhaps I'll get a chance soon and I'll let
you know.
I have used DECelms on a LB200 for most monitoring because I like the
display better than DECmcc. You can spot trends easier. You still
have limitations on what you can monitor, though. It is not as good as
having a bridge set up as an LTM, but at least you can use the bridge
for more than just monitoring. %^)
What "patterns" are you looking for? I'll try to test this for you to
see exactly what I can get.
