DECswitch 900EE Router

This document is an installation and configuration manual for the DECswitch 900EE Router. It guides users through the process of installing the router module into a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch or a DEChub ONE docking station, and then configuring its software for operation in either environment.

Key features of the DECswitch 900EE Router detailed in the manual include multiprotocol routing and switching capabilities (supporting IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet protocols), virtual LAN (VLAN) support for network segmentation and traffic management, and connectivity for six 10 Mb/s Ethernet LANs. The router also offers hot swap functionality, various configuration and management options (including command-line interface, Telnet, OBM, clearVISN MultiChassis Manager, and SNMP), and EasyStart for downline loading configuration files.

The guide provides step-by-step instructions for connecting cables (AUI, UTP/STP), using menu-driven and command-line interfaces for IP configuration (setting SNMP community, IP addresses, default gateway, OBM port speed), and configuring virtual LANs. It also includes sections on monitoring commands, troubleshooting using LED indicators, detailed connector and pin assignments, and product specifications.
