3626.0. "LLC2 dte on DECnis over FDDI?" by SNOFS1::63496::CHIUANDREW () Tue May 06 1997 21:24

    Hi,
    
    Customer wants to setup DECnis V4.0 to have LLC2 over FDDI, is it
    supported? If yes, then what is the MAC address to be used at remote
    end when they try to setup LLC2 dte to DECnis (I know there are rule in
    assigning MAC addresses to Ethernet card on DECnis, but no sure for
    FDDI card on DECnis)?
    
    thanks again for help!

The rules for FDDI address assignment is similar to that for the L60x cards. The
single address for the FDDI is the common first 11 digits + the slot number that
the F621 device is known by, for example F621-9-0 in nis203 shows:

Node NIS203 FDDI Station f621-9-0 Link 1

Characteristics

    Link Address                      = 08-00-2B-A1-0E-99

when the node ID is

Node NIS203
at 1997-05-07-09:29:07.118+01:00Iinf

Status

    ID                                = 08-00-2B-A1-0E-90

The Link Address is the address to use when configuring the remote LLC2 DTE.
