893.0. "Security with DECrep.900FP ?" by STKAI1::MERICSSON () Fri Apr 08 1994 09:01

Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding the per port security 
on the DECrepeater900FP. 

1. How many adresses can you specify per port to be able
to secure another repeaters (10baseT) ports? Or, are there
per port security on the DECrep.90's so You don't need more
adresses on the 900FP?

The question occurs when You want to have the 900FP as the
IDF of fiber to different levels in a building or 
buildings and then have the 900TM or 90T as HDF and keep
a high level of security.

Secondly, I hope this is managable via HUBwatch regardless of
the type of repeater in the HDF.

Thank You,

Magnus
