3659.0. "Hubwatch & evesdropping / jam packets" by CHEFS::bunnys.reo.dec.com::sheriffj (just one more.......) Wed Jun 26 1996 06:34

Hello all,

I would like a brief on what the difference is between 'evesdropping' and 'jam packets' in the 
padlock option of the repeater summary screen of Hubwatch. Is it fair to say that if a 
customer wants to jam packets, but the option is grayed out, they could do the same with 
evesdropping?

Kind regards all....

	Eavedrop security prevents an AUTHORIZED station from receiving packets destined for another station and prevents unauthorized stations from receiving packets at all. Jamming or intrusion protection prevents UNauthorized stations from transmitting data into a repeater port. This is well described in the "DEChub Ethernet Repeater Family Functional Specification" which used to be available on the network somewhere.
