2375.0. "Does DB90 continue to work when faced with massive quatities of CRC errors?" by KEIKI::WHITE (MIN(2�,FWIW)) Mon Jun 12 1995 20:00

    
    	Will a DECbridge-90 reset its ethernet interfaces when confronted
    with massive CRC errors?
    
    	We want to front a Vitalink bridge with a DECbridge-90 to isolate
    the Vitalink from the thousands of CRC's we get intermittantly about
    once a week. The CRC/FRAMING errors cause the Vitalink to reset its
    ethernet which causes a loss of LAT connectivity even when retransmit
    limit is set to 60.
    
    	We only have 10 nodes on the other side of the Vitalink so a
    workgroup bridge should be ok.
    
    	We will also need to use some bridges to isolate various floors
    during troubleshooting, we only have one AUI connection on each floor,
    so if the DB90 goes into flood mode will it still filter packets with
    CRC/FRAMING errors?
