3535.0. "DECserver connecting" by HGOM19::MICHAELXU () Mon May 19 1997 10:20

    Hi,
    One of my major account customers rise a URGENT question, see
    following dirgram:
    			-------         --------
                       |Alpha  |       |Alpha   |

                           |               |
                          -------------------
                          |   HUB           |
                           -----------------

                           ----------------
                           |DEC server 700|

    Customer want to use DECserver 700 and DECserver 90M to connect two
    Ethernets without Router. I hope get following information:
    1.  Does this solution is OK?
    2.  If yes, is there any difference between using DECserver and Router?
    Any further information and help is welcome.
    
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

	RE: .0 This is a supported configuration, called the "back-to-back" DECserver configuration. It works with PPP or SLIP to provide IP connectivty among the three LANs. The caveat is that _all_ the nodes that wish to communicate must have static routes entered in their routing databases. The DECservers do not participate in RIP or any other routing update protocols. Information on the DECserver setup is in the Management Guide, as as in a few notes elsewhere in this conference. Regards, Dave
