Is it possible to configure the A and B ports of DECswitch 900 EF and
DECconcentrator 900 MX so that the A port is accessible on the
Backplane of the DEChub 900 MS and the B port is available on the front
of the module or does it have to be both on the backplaneor both from
the front of the module?
The customer wants to be able to utilize both so he can have some
redundancy from a faillure of the DEChub other than power.
Regards,
-Scott

| 1585.1 | Splitting A and B ports between front & back are ok... | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | Mon Oct 17 1994 17:45 | 5 | |
Yes you can do this. For more details on legal FDDI configurations,
please be sure and chack out Karl Pieper's FDDI config rules in
base note #651.

| 1585.2 | Yes, but | NETCAD::B_CRONIN | Tue Oct 18 1994 19:44 | 13 | |
It is possible to have B on the front panel, and A out the back
backplane. Hubwatch's ligo types will show an icon, with a B in the
front, and an A in the back. Select that icon, and it will configure
correctly.
But, I'm not sure that this answers your question. If what you are
asking is whether a single module can be accessed from both the front
and the back, the answer is no, it cannot. This icon, and the opposite
one of A out the front, B out the back are designed for connecting the
dual ring thru the backplane.
Can you draw a picture of what the customer wants to do? I can't offer
more than this given what's here right now.

| 1585.3 | ...And to further clarify FDDI configs check note 1597 | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | Thu Oct 20 1994 16:43 | 4 | |
There's been a new set of FDDI config rules written in note 1597.
