3330.0. "Network configuration advice request" by ORO50::REEVES (Fire and Forget.) Wed Mar 06 1996 13:00

    I need some network configuration advice.
    
    My customer has the following network
    
                               
    Jacksonville

    Alpha Host running
    IP and LAT	
    
    Currently only T1 line0 is running. I am attempting to bring up
    line1.  I cannot enable privilaged command on brouter #1 or #4 because
    the customer doesn't remember the password. What I want to do is use
    the second T1 line (line1) for some additional bandwidth.  My plan
    is to configure the brouters connecting line0 to only pass LAT traffic
    and to configure the brouters connecting line1 for IP traffic. I plan
    to configure all brouters for bridging only, because the IP addresses
    are on the same subnet in both Gainsville and Jacksonville.  
    
    
    My questions are as follows:
    
    1. Is it true that if I use both serial ports on the same brouter that
       the second port runs only at 64K ?
    
    2. Can the brouters be configured to pass only lat traffic and filter
       out all other protocols ?  Generally what commands would I use to
       configure this ?  I found the "lat disable" command for  the IP
       only brouters but the commands to filter out routable protocols
       seem to be involved. 
    
    3. Can I still assign IP addresses to the ethernet interfaces on all
       the brouters so I can use telnet to connect to each brouter?
    
    4. Does this look like a good solution to the problem or is there
       a better  way to solve this ? 
    
    
    	Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Answer to 1 is that the DECbrouter has been certified with one port
    operating at 2Mbps and the other at 64kbps.  This is not to say that
    other speeds (e.g. both at 128kbps) won't work, just that they are not
    officially supported.
    
    Answer to 3 is yes, I think.
    
    What about trying the KALI::DEWBR DECbrouter conference?
