Re: Signs of LANE Incompatability (Nortel Cisco) ???

2001-02-11 Thread Alex Kuhn, MCSE, CCNA

We had Centillions and 5000 Series at our edge and at our core, and had such problems
getting them to connect to our Cisco Core routers with ATM LANE that Cisco provided a
special IOS version for our routers to keep it running.  I was told it was built just
for our network.

We ended up dumping all our nortel gear, and all the ATM, and going straight Cisco 
GigE.

Where we used to have a major outage a couple times a month with Nortel/Cisco/ATM, we
haven't had one in 8 months with Cisco/Cisco/GigE.

 Centillions have a known (or had anyway) incompatibility in the UNI
 address registration.  This was known to affect fore systems cards
 trying to connect to centillions, but I dont see why it wouldnt affect
 cisco's.  Search deja for "Fore" in the bay and nortel comp.dcom.sys
 groups for info.
