163.0. "Decbridge 90FL and DECrepeater 90FL conection?" by MXOV06::LERIOS () Wed Feb 17 1993 16:16

Hi,

We would like to know if it is possible to interconnect
two separate DEChubs 90 with a DECbridge 90Fl each one, to
a third DEChub 90 with a single DECrepeater 90FL (4 ports) module. 

We hope so....

On order to manage each DEChub, is it necessary to integrate a
DECagent 90 in each one?

Ricardo.

    Yes.  The third hub will essentially be the "backbone" connection
    to the other 2 hubs with DB90FLs in them.
    
    As for the 2 hubs with bridges, they can/will be managed thru the
    DB90FL mounted in them.  As for the third hub, you will need 
    a DB90 in it to manager what's there.  This is because the
    DECagent will not now (V1.0) and probably not V1.1 manage repeaters
    without the use of a DB 90.  If either hub 1 or 2 is close to hub
    3 you could extend the management cable from 1 or 2 to hub 3.
    That way hub 3 would be managed as though it was slots 9 thru 16
    from hub 1 or 2.

    DECagent 1.1 will NOT manage repeaters without a bridge.  Hopefully
    that functionality will be available by summer 93.
