OpenVMS and Cisco Etherchannel?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Would you be able to find out if the 8400's and OpenVMS will work with
the Intel Pro 10/100 Dual Port Server Adapter??
 
This NIC has dual 10/100 interfaces which supports Cisco's Fast
Etherchannel.  Each card can support up to 400Mbps full-duplex, so to
get 800 Mbps you need two NICs.  These NIC's have drivers for Netware,
NT, Unix, and Solaris.

The Answer is :

 
  If you have need for a connection to Cisco "Etherchannel" or to this
  particular Intel controller, please contact your reseller or your Compaq
  sales representative directly.
 
  The Wizard is not in a position to discuss future support plans for
  this device or for Cisco "Etherchannel".  There is support for a variety
  of new network devices in various stages of planning or development.
 
  The "Intel Pro 10/100 Dual Port Server Adapter" device is very likely
  not directly supported under OpenVMS Alpha -- very few third-party
  adapters are explicitly supported by OpenVMS.  For information on the
  currently supported devices, see the OpenVMS Software Product Description
  and the Systems and Options Catalog.
 
  The CPU architecture specified in your question is VAX, and there are
  no VAX systems that support PCI.  Your text appears to indicate the
  system in question is the AlphaServer 8400, an Alpha system -- the
  Wizard will assume the system in question is the AlphaServer 8400.
