2683.0. "parallel brdie at 900EF, allow ?" by ZPOVC::PARRYCHUA (Parry Chua @ZPO, 65-3306311) Mon Aug 28 1995 03:31

    Hi,
    
    Could a DECbrdige 90 connected across the two brideg port of a
    DECswitch 900 ? Reason is just incase the switch is down and to allow
    the two segemnet of ethernet device to continue commuicate ?
    
    It thsi allow ?   Assume that the workgroup side of DB90 will be has 
    less than 200 node. Will this cause any problem ?
