426.0. "DECbridge 900 query" by SAC::LANG_H () Wed Oct 13 1993 14:11

    Can sombeody please clarify the following....
    
    If I intend to have a HUB900 config consisting of a DECserver900 TM and a 
    DECconcentrator 900MX, then to transport the ethernet data to the host 
    which is situated on the FDDI ring, I will also require a DECbridge 900 
    placed in the same HUB. This being the case, I could then use the
    management utilities to define which ports were to be used for ethernet 
    and FDDI respectively.
    
    If this is the case, is there a release date set for the bridge ?
    
    Thanks

426.1Yes there is a DateLIE495::CITRONMarty - NY PSC Network ConsultantWed Oct 13 1993 21:1620
    There is a Date... And a Price.  And the Price is better than the date.
    Product contact is Karl Pieper. (used to be on TOOK:: ?)
    
    Remember you will also need a way of selecting the INTER-LAN
    connections with the backplane ports.  If it is HUBWATCH you
    desire,HUBWATCH support for DECBRIDGE is after the module(only a few
    months away if I recall correctly.)
    Bill NAC::Seaver is the HUBwatch Marketing person but Karl knows this
    stuff as well.

    End result, I think with some SNMP 'voo-doo' you can set it up without
    hubwatch.  else get some wires and patch it up from the front ports
    until NMS is ready ;^)
    
    Just a field guy so the info's 2nd hand...& then some..
