If you are _bridging_ the network, can servers (specifically Suns) be
dual-homed (that is, an ethernet card on each network). I'd assume
you wouldn't want routed or dated running, either...

   This is just a follow up to the above posting to keep it complete.
The question was filed in by proxy and should have been addressed to
comp.unix.XXX instead. But, anyway, the original question was supposed
to be a programming problem which we faced while migrating from SVR4 to
an AIX machine. We needed a way to get the remote host name of the 
mounted file systems which could have been done in SVR4 via the gethostent()
call, but it seems to be absent from AIX 3.2. Later on we found that the
mntctl() call can be used to get the host name of the remote NFS file system,
although it was kind of a convoluted way, which is another story.

	Thanks to all who have responded.

This can be done with two ethernet cards in a system on the same wire as
well.  The system is used as the "router" or gateway.  This even works
when using a completely different network number.  For example:
	145.145.15 -> 192.145.15

	(numbers where randomly created)

It's designed to avoid the pins used for phones, so that you could run
voice and data in the same four-pair cable.  Pins 4 and 5 are the middle
pair, normally used for voice, and one of the spiffy wave-of-the-future
phone technologies -- ISDN? -- uses 7 and 8 also.

It does use two of the four pairs, but the mapping of pairs to pins is
not as simple or as standard as you seem to think.  They don't just go
across the connector two pins at a time.  The pairing is based on issues
like compatibility with 6-pin and 4-pin jacks and on probable results of
pair reversal.  The usual pairing is 1+2, 3+6, 4+5, 7+8.

On the campus of my undergrad institution there is a dorm that is
wired with 2 pair + ground shielded cable with each pair individually
shielded. It was put in place with serial communications in mind.

Now there is talk of removing this wiring (which has never been used)
and replacing it with 4 pair unshielded level 3 cabling. (I think)

I'm interested in what the 10baseT specs say and advice on future
cabling requirements. 

Currently there is a lot of mis-information floating about.  People
there are saying the current cabling is "too slow".

What's wrong with the 3c503?  It meets all your spec's

Maybe you saw "Certified NetWare Engineer"?  That's a Novell program
where you give them several thousand dollars and take a bunch of tests,
and if you pass, they give you a certificate to hang on the wall.

It really isn't much real engineering -- it means you know how to set up
every current revision of NetWare, you understand NetWare routers and
bridges, you know something about cabling design and layout, and you know
a fair bit about all of the NetWare add-on products Novell sells, including,
I think, AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and other non-NetWare protocol stacks.

Novell offers courses to prepare you for the tests, or you can just take
the tests directly if you think you already know the material.  Getting
your CNE really does mean, for most people, that you have to go to classes
and learn a lot about Novell NetWare.

The people to call for more information would be Novell.  The classes are
offered around the country.

It has 12 10Base-T ports and one AUI port, 
auto-partitioning and diagnostic LEDs.  It
includes a Mac program for management.

I think it has 8 10Base-T ports and 1 BNC port.
It has LED for link status and traffic (per port).

Questions:

1.  Why the wide price difference?

2.  Are they both true repeaters?

The ISDN Basic Rate S/T interface has uses for all 8 pins, although not all
are used at all locations.  From the AT&T 5ESS version of the spec:

	NT: network termination, where the "U" is converted to "S"/"T"
	TE: Terminal equipment

     TE pin			   NT pin
	1 ---- power (+) from TE ---- 1
	2 ---------- (-) ------------ 2

	3 ---- transmit from TE ----- 3 (3/6 are also power (+) from NT
	6 --------------------------- 6

	5 ----- receive from TE ----- 5 (5/4 are also power (-) from NT
	6 --------------------------- 6

	7 ---- power (-) from NT ---- 7
	8 ---------- (+) ------------ 8

Carefull with pins 7/8.  I've fried the front ends on on more that one device
by accidently plugging it into a patch pannel that currently had hot ISDN BRI
lines.

: The FOIRL specification is in Section 9.9 of IEEE 802.3. It was published
: under "Supplements to CSMA/CD", IEEE 802.3 b, c, d, and e-1989.

It is also available in the second and later editions of ISO/IEC 8802-3
(ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3).  We cleverly hid it in Section 9.9.  Section 9
covers repeaters so that is where the Fiber Optic InterRepeater lives.

10BASE-F includes 3 types of MAU:

  10BASE-FP: P stands for passive and these MAUs are connected together
      with a passive hub (basically a lump of glass that divides input
      power to all the outputs)

  10BASE-FB: B stands for backbone.  These MAUs are optimized for use in
      a backbone in situations where you need a lot of repeaters end to 
      end.  They minimize interpacket gap shrinkage which is the limiting
      factor to network size when you don't need to cover much distance
      between repeaters.

  10BASE-FL: L stands for link.  This is an updated version of FOIRL.  It
      uses ST connectors rather than the SMA connectors specified in 
      FOIRL (the vast majority of FOIRL MAUs are shipped with STs).
      It is fully backwards compatable with FOIRL.  It supports a larger
      loss budget so it can be used for 2 km links.  It allows for connection
      to DTEs.  (FOIRL in the standard was defined as an inter-repeater
      link only, not for use between stations and repeaters.  However,
      manufacturers usually included a switchable SQE test so it could
      be used with stations.)
      
      We made some 
      minor tweaks to the state machines to make them more similar to
      10BASE-T.  This doesn't affect interoperability, but it makes it
      easier to modify 10BASE-T silicon to get 10BASE-FL chips and slightly
      simplifies implementation.  We also made some small changes to specs
      to make implementation easier.

 Out of all the network cable types i have installed and managed, i believe 10base-2 has always been the easiest and most reliable.  Of course this is only an option if the 10-nodes are within reach of each other.  

 10base-t was always a headache.  I have had more cable related problems with it than any other cable type including 802.5 shielded cable.  Also you will be able to save money by not having to purchase a twisted pair hub.

Hody Net,
  Could some kind soul(s) please help with a suggestion to the following.

 We would like to connect 2 SCO Unix boxes to each other with TCP/IP over
a dial up connection. I realize that I must use some kind of bridge/router
or possibly just SLIP-PPP out of one of the async ports on the boxes, my
question is whats the best performance solution. I guess that I really 
don't keed a router since I'll be talking to only one other site, and a 
remote bridge would do the trick, but what kind of results can I obtain in
terms of interactive use with telnet/rlogin etc. Also could someone 
recommend what kind of bridges/routers I might need if that were the 
route I would have to take...

Thanks In advance

Hello,
during analyzing the traffic on our LAN with a Network General Sniffer, I have found out that we get in to some real trouble with broadcast storms and overload on the ethernet. We often can see, that VAXen which are running VMS in an LAVC topology are involved in broadcast storms (duration between 1 and 50 seconds) which are generated by the "remote who" and "bootp" protocol. These storms seems also to be responsible for the LAN overload seen be the Sniffer.
How is this possible ? The machines aren't runnig any UNIX stuff, only pure DECnet, LAT and Cluster protocols.
I want to eliminate all this storms and stopped all rwhod processes on all UNIX boxes, except the Emulex printservers (I don't know how to do it on this 
devices, any idea ?), but the storms and overloads are still alive.
ThanX for any help !
