Re: Ethernet switch question

Hello Pamela,

what kind of switch is this ?
is it manageable in any way ?

we had problems with "learning" switches that used to "forget" about
the mac adress of the attached AS/400 so that SNA / DLC connections
failed after a certain period.
Maybe the reset of your switch does something equally.
