4379.0. "900EF switch be dual homed?" by NQOS01::kxodial_port2.kxo.dec.com::LOVE (Are we having fun yet?) Mon Apr 28 1997 10:03

Can the DECswitch 900EF be dual homed without changing the Default A and B
port DAS configuration?  Note 3428.1 seems to indicate that this will work.
At present I have two 900EF and two Concentrators in a dual ring and it 
works fine.  The two 900EFs each have a connection from the AUI port 7 to
the same Thick Wire Ethernet LAN.  What I want to do is connect the 
customers IP router to the dual ring, but they will only allow the 
concentrators in the ring.  So what I thought I would do is connect the A
port of each switch to ports on concentrator A, and connect the B port of
each switch to ports on concentrator B.  I could probably eliminate the A
port connections since I have triple redunancy to the Thick wire, by 
connecting port B of one switch to a port on Concentrator A.
