These are Synoptics 2803 and 2813 model hubs. The 2803 has no
intelligence at all but the 2813 is manageable. Is that the 'smart hub'
you're referring to?
I'm with you on this one. A physical repeater should not care what
frame type is going across it.

Could they have been those 'Smart Hubs' that Synoptics were pushing
prior to
the WellFleet merger? My guess is that unless there was some
intelligence
in the device it would not matter at all.

Subject: Ethernet Hubs and Frame Type problems [7:10820]
While discussing a migration from novell-ether to sap, my boss
mentioned
that long before I arrived in the department, they attempted this
migration before. According to him, it failed because our company was
using Synoptics hubs at our branches and they had some issue with the
802.2 frame type.
How in the heck could this possibly be true? He said they even
contacted Synoptics at the time and they confirmed the issue. Why
would
a repeated care what frame type was being used? How is it possible
that
it could have issues with one frame type but not others?
I refuse to believe this until someone proves me wrong.
Regards,
John
