Hi,
on customer site there is the following configuration:
DEChub900 V4.1.0
DECswitch900EF V1.5.2 bridge_1
DECswitch900EF V1.5.2 bridge_2
DECrepeater900TM
DECrepeater900TM
DECrepeater900TM
DECrepeater900TM
DECrepeater900TM
DECconcentrator900TH V3.1.1 slot 1
FDDI:
bridge_1 "ring in" - backplane FDDI - bridge_2 "ring out"
|
|
|
DECconcentrator900TH
"Dual ring internal to hub"
|
| BN25H
|
DEFPA-UA V2.46
AlphaServer 1000
Problem:
First the status LED on the Con-Port and on the DEFPA Board is green.
After a few seconds the Con-Port is yellow, the DEFPA Board is
blinking green. Again after a few seconds - the same again. On the
DEFPA I can see the following status:
green Link state On ring running
Physical Port state In use
Reject Reason No reason
Ring error reason Ring init received
green/yell Link state On ring Initializing
Physical Port state Starting
Reject Reason Remote Reject
Ring error reason Ring Init received
yellow Link state Off fault recovery
Physical Port state Starting
Reject Reason Remote Reject
Ring error reason Directed Beacon Received
In "green"-state the DEFPA and (!!!) the Concentrator are seeing
bridge_1 as there UNA. After a few seconds you can see a "NoNIF" for
the DEFPA, and in "yellow"-state the ring map is ok.
Does somebody has any idea to get the DEFPA running?
Regards
Franz Veith @SUO

It sounds like the DEFPA's running, but something is taking down the
link. Have the customer run a check on the Category 5 cable. Make
sure it's within spec and that the pinouts are OK. Barring that, try a
different port on the concentrator.

Hi,
I've checked the Category 5 cable with different tools - it's o.k.
I've also tried a different port on the concentrator and another
concentrator on a different DEChub900.
But all without any success!
Regards
Franz
