- Hi,
- Our FDDI backbone ring has one p4200, 17 CNX 500s, 4 DEC 5900s, and 1
- DecStation 5000/133. All these stations are single-attached to DEC
- concentrators, and the concentrators are dual-attached together (in
- six different buildings).
-
- Our CNX 500s are running V12.0c and our p4200 is running V11.0d. We
- route IP only.
-
- We, also, have had problems with our FDDI ring which we were able to
- isolate to the p4200. The problems have gone away since we moved things
- around to reduce the traffic that goes through the p4200. It appears
- that with a reasonably light load the p4200 is stable and happy and so
- is our ring.
-
- Since last August, we have seen two FDDI problems with the CNX's, and
- Proteon's response has been very good in both cases. So, we are quite
- happy with the performance of the CNX and FDDI so far.
