I would suspect because it is not a ethernet layer address. This is a
bridge after all and won't look at the network layer. Perhaps when the
brouting code ships.

not really, it's work on Open-VMS plaform and OSF-1 as well

| 1995.3 | Huh? | NETCAD::GALLAGHER | | Fri Feb 10 1995 11:23 | 9 |
| Yes, really.
If I understand your question to be, "Why can't the DECswitch filter
on IP address", then .1 is right. Bridges offer performance advantages
over routers because they are (mostly) layer 2 devices.
Could you elaborate on your question?

| 1995.4 | The real answer is... | SLINK::HOOD | This is my new personal name for Notes | Fri Feb 10 1995 11:25 | 8 |
| The real answer is because at least one of the primary supported IP stacks
on the PC doesn't allow easy accesses to the ARP cache. The HUBwatch
repeater engineer, in one of those I-can-spend-several-more-weeks-making-
this-work vs We-make-money-only-if-we-ship-the-product tradeoffs did not
include the IP-to-MAC translation for the Windows version for V3.1

| Okay, I obviously didn't understand the question. Please disregard .3.

| Shawn,
It's too late. Valuable engineering, sales, support, and marketing resources
were already wasted reading .3. Time that could have been spent bringing our
customers satisfaction was spent reading your question.

Thanks all, (including Shawn...)
any plan to add it in V4 ?

| Now come on Jean-Yves, is that really the way you spell "guru" in French? The
word just never came up during my high school French vocabulary studies. :-)

My head is full of DECnis and MCC crap today, did I miss something?
Can our DECbridge 900MX filter based on IP addresses? That would
certainly be a unique function for a bridge.
Scott

| 1995.11 | | NETCAD::GALLAGHER | | Fri Feb 10 1995 17:48 | 9 |
| My sincere sympathy. Anything to do with MCC is not a good time.
No, the DECbridge900MX can't filter based on IP addresses.
Jean-Yves and Tom are referring to a HUBwatch feature that allow(ed)
users to translate a MAC address into an IP address. I'm not too
familiar with the algorithm, but I know it used the host's ARP-cache
to perform the translation.
