3.5.4 DECswitch 900FO
The DECswitch 900FO six-port Ethernet to FDDI Level 2 switch provides high-
performance switching between Ethernet and FDDI networks. The DECswitch
900FO has six front panel fiber optic ST-type ports and one FDDI logical rear
backplane port.
Each of the six Ethernet ports is individually software configurable using clearVISN
to connect either through:
• The front panel ports.
• One of six backplane Ethernet segments of a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch.
• One of the Ethernets can be configured to connect through the DEChub
ONE-MX AUI.
The FDDI logical port must be connected through either the DEChub 900
MultiSwitch backplane or through the physical FDDI ports available on the DEChub
ONE-MX.
