If you have a FORE switch, it should support SPANS. Also, the UNI/ILMI/VLAN is supported by the driver, not the card. So, you may ask your vendor to upgrade the driver. I also would like to discuss if the SPANS needs to be supported in the future. Since many vendors are not support or continue to support SPANS, I intend to take SPANS out of the next release for Zeitnet/FORE/Efficient. -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
