881.0. "VNbus-connect" by BERN02::DEY (Walter Dey, Berne Switzerland) Wed Apr 30 1997 12:02

    VNbus-Autoconnect disabled
    on VNswitch-xx, we do "enable int 0" and connect to the VNbus
    
    q1: what happens if you take the module out of the DEChub and then
    	put it in again. Should it connect automatically to the VNbus
    	or do I have to do a "enable int 0" (resp. use MCM)
    
    q2: with VNbus-Autoconnect enable
    	do I connect to the VNbus that covers slot 1-4 resp. 5-8 ?

	q1: If auto-connect is disabled, you can only connect the VNbus using MCM. If auto healing is enabled, the VNbus will re-connect on re-insertion. q2: With auto connect enabled, always connect to the full width VNbus. You may want to double check this in the hub_mgmt conference. But the effect is that all the modules can talk to one another -- there is no partitioning between slots 1-4 and 5-8. Hugh
