[comp.dcom.lans] user experience with LAN Analysers

tyers@trlluna.trl.oz (P Tyers) (11/13/87)

I am currently attempting to acquire a LAN analyser as a diagnostic
and developmental support tool in extending our LAN and associated
computer facilities network.

Any user experiences with Local Area Network Analysers/Monitors would
be greatly appreciated. In particular the following equipment.

Hewlett Packard Model HP4971A - including HP18212A LAN performance
                                 software.

Hewlett Packard Model HP4972A - also with HP18212A software.

LANalyzer EX5000E or EX5000EP (being card plus computer) with associated
 software.

Comments on ease of use in diagnostic and developmental environments
would be of particulat use. Ditto comments on failings and gotchas.

Please mail me and I will summarise for the net.

thanx in advance
