| 3065.1 | OK in the HUB, but can't bridge between them. | MSDOA::REED | John Reed @CBO = Network Services | Wed Dec 13 1995 11:55 | 9 |
| The two ports on the DECswitch 900EF are FDDI A and FDDI B (ring in and
ring out) for a single DAS ring. There is only ONE FDDI Bridge port
available on the Switch. It switches up to 6 ethernets to one FDDI.
If you need an FDDI to FDDI bridge, I would sell the DECNIS
Bridge/router with two FDDI cards. If you need more than two FDDI
rings, then go with the Gigaswitch.

| 3065.2 | What about routing between the FDDI ports? | MKOTS3::BLANCHETTE | | Fri Dec 15 1995 11:05 | 12 |
| We had this same question at the TCC.
What if RouteAbout software is loaded on the DECswitch 900EF, and the
A/B ports are configured as M/S ports. Will the DECswitch be able
to route (IP for example) between the two FDDI ports?
A customer would like to filter FDDI traffic between the FDDI ring in
his DEChub 900 and the campus FDDI backbone.
Thanks!

| The ports are electrically joined in the FDDI chipset and act as a
single unit no matter if they are A/B or M/S.
