3308.0. "FDDI configuration sample" by LUCCIO::DEQUAL () Mon Feb 26 1996 08:35

Hi,

because the FDDI configuration rules do support A-S and B-S connections (as in
a wrapped ring), it should be possible to use a PEswitch 900 TX to connect 
two servers (SAS) at 100 Mb/s to up to 64 clients at 10 Mb/s, using a DEChub 
ONE-MX with UTP MOD PMD (see below).

Can somebody confirm such issue please?
Thanks in advance
Zeno

	Yes, it will work. But I believe you should include the servers in the address count, so that would be 62 stations on ethernet. -Mike
3308.2		MLNORO::ORIANA		`Mon Feb 26 1996 10:38`	2
	OK Mike Thanx a lot
3308.3	64 addresses on Ethernet only	SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE	Humpty Dumpty was pushed	`Mon Feb 26 1996 17:44`	5
	Re .1, doesn't the 64 address limit apply across the 6 Ethernet ports only, and is unlimited across the FDDI ports
3308.4	64 Ethernet and 7936 FDDI	ULYSSE::YLOUPC::LOUIS		`Tue Feb 27 1996 07:21`	3
	The PEswitch900TX supports up to 8000 network addresses: 64 Ethernet and 7936 FDDI.
3308.5		NETCAD::DOODY	Michael Doody	`Tue Feb 27 1996 09:08`	2
	Oh.
3308.6		ULYSSE::YLOUPC::LOUIS		`Tue Feb 27 1996 09:34`	4
	Does "Oh" mean "Glupsss" or "hmmm" ? :-)
3308.7		NETCAD::DOODY	Michael Doody	`Tue Feb 27 1996 12:55`	1
	It's more like "D'OH" (imagine the sound of one hand clapping forehead).
