We're 100% Cisco, 7500 series to ATM to Frame Relay to
a 1700 series to the branches.
Some of the branches use managed hubs, but the newer
branches use the 2900 series switches.
The branches with the hubs work just fine for finding
devices.
Right now I am totally lost with this program. I'm
not even certain I set it up correclty.
Thanks.
