[comp.dcom.sys.cisco] FDDI Interoperability

C.Chaundy@its.unimelb.edu.au (03/06/91)

Could anyone comment on the FDDI interoperability of cisco (AGS+) and
Wellfleet (Concentrator Node) routers, preferably naming a reference site
which has both these systems working together successfully?  I can understand
that there may (would) be problems with handling ethernet bridging, but I know
that getting FDDI systems working together currently involves a lot more than
that.

Thanks in advance, Chris Chaundy

	I can't comment specifically on cisco/Wellfleet interoperability but
I can say that cisco interoperates quite well with a number of vendors here 
at Cray.  These vendors include SUN, Network Systems, Apollo, Evans & Sutherland
DEC, Silicon Graphics (actually an Interphase board), and Network Peripherals.

	I believe that Wellfleet OEMs their FDDI interface but I can't recall 
who they get it from.
