The Question is: Question regarding DECSERVER 300 and a network. I have a customer that has a MV3100/40 using a DECSERVER/DECMUX 300 and have dumb terminals and printers cabled to it. It is connected to the network via a coax cable from a DESTA to the VAX and then into a 10BaseT Hub. The other end of the coax is connected to a DECHUB 90 and eventually to some fibe r. The network has been working fine until a couple months ago. They have recently added a Novell 4.11 patch 5b to the network and manufacturing software on the Novell server. They have also added a Cisco switch on the network. On the switch some "spa nning tree/portfast" switches/software had to be changed. The question I have is: Are there any settings (lat commands) on the DECSERVER/HUB 300 that also need to used? (or should the DECSERVER 300 pass packets okay over the network. On the Novell serve r when things are busy, Netware users are also loosing priviledges. ie someone logged into the admin account may or may not have full priviledges. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! The Answer is : You have reached the OpenVMS Wizard, not the Cisco or Novell Wizard. Discussions of Cisco switches and appropriate settings for DECserver devices, as well as discussions of (the loss of) Novell user privileges, are well outside OpenVMS, please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for assistance. The OpenVMS Wizard would assume that the DECserver can and should be completely and entirely oblivious to any switches or bridges embedded within the Ethernet network. The OpenVMS Wizard would further assume that the DECserver devices have nothing to do with Novell privileges, as the DECserver devices typically have no specific knowlege of the privileges used within Novell networks.
