3362.0. "Class 1 VLAN Questions " by VNABRW::WALDHERR () Wed Mar 13 1996 12:13

    Hi 
    
    Class 1 VLANs (port specific) are supported with SW version V1.6 on 
    DECswitch/PESwitch/Fiberswitch coming soon.
    
    Is the following configuration valid ?
    
    
    
    	DECSW900EF  ====== FDDI ======  DECSW900EF
    	|  |  |				 |  |  |
    	|  |  |				 |  |  |
    LAN A  B  B				 A  B  B
    
    
    LAN A and B on both sites are broadcast domains, a packet from lan A
    can only reach lan A on either side.
    
    Questions:
    
    1. Can anyone give me a pointer to technical documentation about
       Class 1 VLANS. (how dose a switch know to which port or vlan a
       broadcast packet belongs if received from fddi) ?
    
    2. Is a system directly connected to the FDDI supported ?
    
    3. Is it possible to connect a server system to VLAN B but with higher 
       speed than 10MBit/s (FDDI,100Base-T) ?
    
    4. If question 3. is no, when will it be possible ?
    
    
    Thanks
    Andreas
