My name is Andy Pragnell I work the the Reading Service centre Networks
team. Responsible for support our LAN and FDDI backbone.
I seem to be experiencing problems inparticular with our DECbridge
610's. On several occasions we have had power failures to these bridges
and they lockup. The problems that occur are that the AP (Application
Processor) card selftest fails or the FI (Fibre Interface) card also
fails its selftest. The only features I am setting up on the bridge is
giving it an IP Address and setting up the management switches.
If I set the bridge back to factory settings and reboot, more often than
not it passes its selftest and starts functioning again.
Can anyone give an explaination to why this is happening.
Regards,
Andy

| 1088.1 | try re-seating the boards... | ASDS::LEVY | Tue Sep 14 1993 14:21 | 5 | |
Have you tried re-seating the AP and FI boards (and perhaps cleaning
their connectors)?
You might have some intermittent connections, with the
reset-to-defaults behavior being a spurious correlation.
