This thread is getting pretty weak. Engineering via internet threads is =
not going to give you much of a system. Might I suggest that you take =
the time to put your ideas on paper, well OK, CAD is fine but no ASCII =
art and send it off to your local service rep. Ask them to put a plan =
together for you to migrate to wherever you want to go.
If you do not have a service rep, I suspect Russ Boulay would rather see =
your ideas now on paper than wait to tell you it won't work after you've =
purchased a bunch of hardware.
You can always share the riches after you get a firm, workable system =
put together.

Do you mean you can't use them in a back-to-back configuration as you =

In my example, the NCNIs that are there replaced some NBEs, but we added =

just responded that I _could_ replace these NCNIs with ATSs.

Corey,
In your small system example, I can't see any reason not to do as you've
described, subject to the Foxboro license/software costs of upgrading =
your
V7.x
boxes to V8.x boxes.
I intend to work towards a system with ATS modules in all the legacy
segments
connecting directly to V8.x switches, but I'm looking at the scenarios
discussed
in the last couple days as a simpler first step.
I've got 3 seperate networks with a total of 5 pairs of switches and =
about
17
segments with NCNIs. My current plan is to put in a V8 host with three=20
sets
of
gateway ATS modules to connect the three individual networks together.=20
Then
(as
shut schedules permit) upgrade F and XP boxes to V8 (network cards,
software,
license), replace NCNIs with ATSs and bring the switches to V8. In
conjunction
with this we'll look at eliminating some segments by upgrading CPs and
gateways
to CP270s with FDSI FBMs.
Some cost related concerns include:
V7 -> V8 costs for an AW or WP, I understand this will require network
card(s)
upgrade, but I don't know how much the software/license cost will be.=20
Given
that the license costs much more than the hardware now, I expect I may =
be
shocked at the price to bring my V7.x Solaris workstations to V8.x
NCNI -> ATS -- I've been told there will be an advantage upgrade for =
CLAN
and/or
NCNI modules, but I don't know how much I will end up paying for an ATS
module
under this program.
