3011.0. "Question about PORTswitch 900TP configuration." by KAOFS::L_PELLAND (Luc Pelland. Hull. DTN 640-7218) Mon Nov 27 1995 20:37

	Hello all,

	On the PORTswitch 900TP there is 32 ports that can be assign
	to any of the 6 lans. When you look at the configuration screen,
	under Hubwatch (4.0.18) for windows, you can see the 32 ports
	and the 6 lans so you can match each port to a specific LAN. But
	there is another port call "A" at the end. What is this port
	use for?

	Thank you
	Luc

    First 4.0.18 is not the lateset HUBwatch. That said however even
    with v4.1 you will still see the A. You can't see the invisible
    M and C that are there to spell MAC :-) The MAC can be moved to
    any of the 6 groups and is really only important if you are using
    the module as the IP services module. Then it must be associated
    with the group that has the in-band path to the management station.

    It's probably the mAc. The MAC is used to communicate with the
    management agent inside the repeater. If the repeater is used for IP
    services for the hub, then it's indirectly used to communicate with the
    Hub as well.
