1045.0. "FDDI configuration question with Hubwatch." by ISIDRO::ATT523::Julio-V�zquez () Tue May 31 1994 06:45

	Hello,

	I have a Hub900 with two DECConcentrator 900 MX, one of this have 
	port A and B in a dual ring connection via the front panel
	( ports #1 & #6 ). I want that the second concentrator will be treed 
	off Concentrator #1 via a backplane port (S-Port) to the backplane 
	port (M-Port) of the first Concentrator, like it is show in the 
	figure.

	1.- Can I Configure This with Hubwatch V.3 and Firmware V.2.0 for	
	the concentrator and V.3.0.0 for the HUBmanager DEChub 900 MS.


	If not, in when it will be posible?.

	2.- How can I change the Back-port's to define it like M or S with
	Hubwatch?.

Thanks in advance.

	Only trunk connections (A&B) are supported for current FDDI products on the 900 backplane. New revs of module firmware, hub firmware, and HUBwatch will be required to add Tree connections. These features are in contention for future upgrades; watch this notesfile for announcements.
