1643.0. "DECbridge 620" by BRADEC::BPC032::balogh (Take it easy !) Thu Mar 30 1995 03:05

HI!

	We have at a cutomer site the next HW/SW configuration:


	    -----------------
	    |  DEC 7000 AXP |
            |   OSF/1 V3.0  |
            | Pathworks 5.0 |
            -----------------
		    ||	
                    ||
                    ||
	    -----------------
	    |               |
     =======|DECconcentrator|=======
   //       |       500     |       \\
  ||        -----------------       ||
  ||      FDDI  ring                ||
  ||                                ||
  ||        -----------------       ||
  \\	    |               |       // 
     =======|   DECbridge   |=======
            |       620     |       
            -----------------       
	       |    |    |
         -------    |    |
       --------------    |          Ethernet
                         -----------------------
                             |
                           ------ 
                           | PC |   WFW & PW & TCP/IP
                           ------


	The transport for PW is TCP/IP.
	DEC 7000 AXP is the primary Domain Controller in the 
"domain"

	We have two problems:

		a) We can't net logon to the domain "domain".
		b) We can't browse servers at the PC site.
  
        BUT! we can use PW services (when we know the server 
name)(file...),
                        telnet,ftp.

	Our expert for PW said: "The problem is in the 
broadcasting."

	1)It seems that the DECbridge 620 filters 
		the TCP/IP UDP broadcast packets?

	2)Is it the default (factory) settings for DECbridge 620 ?

	3)Can I change this settings by LCM (Local Console 
Management) ?
			OR only by SNMP NMS (which SW? PNV?) ?

	
		Thanks for any idea!

    The broadcast packets for the TCP/IP protocols use the
    FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF broadcast address as the destination address.  I
    can't believe that any of our bridges filter broadcast packets by
    default.

    what version of code is the bridge running??
1643.3Version : V1.3BRADEC::BPC032::baloghTake it easy !Mon Apr 03 1995 11:327
We can check the code version only by LCM, but LCM is did not respond.
From papers I think that version may be V1.3...
