2223.0. "Multiple modules to provide IP services?" by STRWRS::KOCH_P (It never hurts to ask...) Wed Apr 26 1995 18:03

    
    Are there any plans to create a "list" of modules which can provide the
    IP services for the DEChub 900? I mean, if I lose the module which is
    providing IP services, I would like to designate alternates to the
    maximum number of modules in the hub. 
    
    Is this doable?

RE: .0

This very function will be in the next (soon to be available) release of the
DEChub 900 firmware.

FYI, due to resource limitations in the MAM we are still working out just how
many IP services modules you will be able to specify, but it will certainly be
more than one.

...Roger...
2223.4Are you sure THIS firmware does it? 90TS/FS?ROMEOS::HARRIS_MASales Executive IIMon May 22 1995 18:508
    Please clarify, I was JUST told last week the the DECrepeater90TS DOES
    NOT CURRENTLY supply IP Services to a DEChub900. I was told it is NOT
    in the current firmware, but next version will include it.
    
    Which is correct? Does the DECrepeater90TS or 90FS support it TODAY as
    it ships or is it REALLY the next version of firmware?
    
    Mark
2223.5Yes, it works TODAY!ROGER::GAUDETBecause the Earth is 2/3 waterTue May 23 1995 16:4818
    Whoever gave you that information is just plain WRONG!
    
    The DECrepeater 90FS running v1.1 firmware WILL function as an IP
    services module for the DEChub 900.
    
    The DECrepeater 90TS running v1.1.0 firmware WILL function as an IP
    services module for the DEChub 900.
    
    These are Wave 2 shipping versions of the firmware which went to the
    SSB in early September 1994.
    
    I just tested both of these devices by inserting them in a DEChub 900
    running V3.1.0 firmware.  I assigned the hub an IP address with the
    appropriate slot number of each device (first the 90FS then the 90TS)
    through the hub's setup port, and then brought up HUBwatch with the
    hub's IP address.  In both cases, HUBwatch came up just fine.

    Roger,
    
    	I agree that is works, but my experience is that in a hub with a
    lot of 900 modules, my 90TS could not deliver the information and I got
    agent timeouts. 
    
    	So, where should we go from here?
