2337.0. "DS900EF and broadcast filtering" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Thu Jun 01 1995 18:05

    My customer wants to use a DECbridge 900EF to connect 2 ethernet LANs
    to an FDDI ring.  He wants the broadcasts/multicasts from the 2
    ethernet segments to ONLY be able to go to the FDDI, not to the other
    ethernet segement.
    
    Is this possible using existing filtering capabilities of the DS900EF?
    
    Thanks,

2337.1Read note 895.9 I think it has your answer....NETCAD::BATTERSBYFri Jun 02 1995 09:075
    Mark re-read note 895.9 I think it says you can lock down
    specific ports so that in-bound traffic to those spcific ports
    will not be forwarded to other Ethernet ports.
