- It turns out to be a combination of things that make this work the way it
- does. I have 6 AGS+ systems on the FDDI ring. One has a cbus 2 and an FCIT
- One has a cbus 2 with FCI and the rest are cbus 1 with FCI. All are
- connected to an FDDI ring. All are bridging. The FCIT card is doing
- ethernet to FDDI translation bridging and ignoring the bridge packets from
- the rest of the router (through the FDDI interface only) This is working
- well.
-
- I believe that clients on the FCIT router have to have the UDP spanning tree
- enabled to pass the packet to the FCI/cbus2 router which then generates
- a ip helper packet. It is a rather unique condition. If anyone has any
- interest in knowing more send me email
