1743.0. "Can the DEChub 90 have BOTH a DECbridge 90 & RoamAbout AP?" by TENNIS::KAM (Kam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVO) Thu Dec 01 1994 12:46

    I have a DEChub 90 with a DECbridge 90 isolating our lab from the rest
    of the community.  Can the RoamAbout Access Point be place in the same
    HUB or will I have to have one standalone?

1743.2is AP really a bridge or kind-da?TENNIS::KAMKam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVOThu Dec 01 1994 13:177
    My real question is can the DEChub 90 takes 2 bridges or is the
    RoamAbout Access Point Bridge a special kind of bridge?  I thought the
    configuration rule for the DEChub 90 was ONE and ONLY ONE Bridge?

    It depends on the number of addresses that that RoamAbout adds to the
    workgroup.  It is a normal (symetric) bridge, so it won't be a problem
    'under' the WGB, but it must not become the backbone side and it must
    not make the total number of source addresses on the workgroup side
    (all mobile addresses + all in the hub) over the 200 limit for the
    DB90.

    On my side on the net I have less than 20 systems.  When I place the
    RoamAbout Access Point in the DEChub 90 the lights are flashing out of
    control then settles to:
    
    o on
    o on
    o flashing
    
    o on
    o off
    o flashing
    o on
    
    However, the AP will NOT respond now at the console.
    
    Any one get this to work?  We tried configuring the AP as a Full Bridge
    and as a Workgroup Bridge.  No difference.  Any insights would be
    appreciated.
