Re: Info on MAE-EAST

There are lots of 7513's so I doubt a 7507 would be a problem - the only restriction on equipment is no computers on the MAE EAST LAN for security reasons. Given the ability to bridge MAE EAST I'm not sure how that can be enforced. And Netscape has some mighty big SGI's promintently displayed as you walk in. Oh and another restrictiuon should you ever need it -- to run a $5 piece of ethernet cable 10' from one rack to another (assuming the two racks are diffrent companies eg. a cross connect) is $2000/month.

Well, you can tell by MAC addresses or by broadcast-pings what IP addresses are hooked up to the bridged fabric at any FDDI/ethernet/bridged exchange... I think it's abused more @ MAE-West than @ MAE-East. Avi
