3606.0. "Q's on IP Services" by SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE (Poles are the best post-impressionists) Tue Jun 11 1996 04:20

    Some quick questions about new modules and IP services:
    
    1	Can the DECswitch 900ET provide IP services?  Is it like the EE/EF
        routers where you have to have IP routing enabled for it to work?
    
    2	When the 900ET or EF switch/router are used for IP services, does the
    	MAM use a native Ethernet frame (Ethernet II?) or a TR/FDDI format?
    
    3	Is it correct to say that the DECconc 900FH and DECswitch 900FO can
        provide IP services, as can any DECserver running DNAS v2?
        (including the DECserver 90TL if it has been upgraded?)
    
    And one last question on the DECbridge 900MX - if you use the latest
    DECswitch 900EF firmware and latest MAM and HUBwatch, does this appear in
    HUBwatch as a DECswitch or still as a DECbridge 900MX?
    
    Thank you!

It will still appear as a DECbridge, as this is dependent on the hardware and associated hardware rev jumpers on the modules. Bob

The device providing IP services does. So it depends on what interface is being used for the management packets (where the NMS connects through). > 3 Is it correct to say that the DECconc 900FH and DECswitch 900FO can > provide IP services, Yes. as can any DECserver running DNAS v2? > (including the DECserver 90TL if it has been upgraded?) I don't know.
