2908.0. "Terminating Repeater ports ?" by RDGENG::GREID (All that is, was and will be...) Thu Oct 26 1995 07:25

    I have a question regarding AUI 10Base2 ports on repeaters.
    
    Prior to me migrating our LAN Office connections to DECHub 90s last
    year the 10Base2 network was connected to the 10Base5 segments via
    a DEMPR/DELNI/DEBAM configuration. When this was used ports on the
    DEMPRs that were not connected were left unterminated.
    
    Since the migration we are using mostly DR90Cs and I have in every case
    placed terminators on all the ports that have no connection on them.
                                                                   
        Is this good practice, does it make any difference ?
