Hi,
2 weeks ago we've installed at customer site 1 DECswitch900 EF
and DECrepeater900 CP in a DEChub900. With HUbwatch we've generated
1 FDDI-segment and 6 Ethernet-segments. On the existing DECbridge 900MX
we connected 2 segments to the backplane, on the 900EF 4 segments and
from the 900CP 6 segments. The existing DECconcentrator900MX, the 900EF
and the DECbridge900MX we've connected to the FDDI-backplane. All
modules have the newest firmwarelevel. On the concentrator are
connected 3 DECunix-server, 1 HP-server and 1 SUN SPARC20 server
(Solaris 4.2). The SUN-clients are connected to the 900CP.
And now the problem:
NFS between SUN-server/Sun-clients is working only (!!!) over the
DECbridge900MX. If the customer tries to do NFS over the 900EF he
gets the message "NFS server xxx not responding still trying".
We've tried to test with IP-Fragmentation enabled on the 900EF, but
no changes. We've exchanged the 900EF, no changes.
The traffic form/to all other DEC or HP server is working.
Is there anybody out there who can help?

Could you provide a diagram showing the config and describing where the
problem exists? And provide the firmware revs on all modules.

I've forwarded this to some of our guru's here at LKG. Stay tuned
hopefully for an answer.

re .0
You probably won't get much of an answer until you provide the data
requested in .1

Hi Bill,
thanks for quick reading and answering my question.
The firmware levels are:
DECbridge 900MX and DECswitch 900EF ----> DEFBA150.BIN
DECconcentrator 900MX ----> DEF6X301.BIN
PORTswitch 900CP ----> DECPM202.BIN
DEChub900 ----> DMHUB402.BIN
Now I will try to show you the configuratiion:
A B C D
----- SUN ----- ----- -----
|----| 9 | G ---| C | |-----| 9 | | 9 |
||---| 0 |---- HP | O | | |---| 0 | | 0 | E
|||--| 0 | H | ---| N | | | | 0 |-----| | 0 |----
||||-| C |-- | DEC | C | | | | E |---| | | M | F |
|||| | P | | | ---| | | | | F | | | | X |--- |
|||| ----- | | ----- | | ----- | | ----- ||

Some more info for D: HW=v0/2,ro=v0.2
for C: HW=v1/2,ro=v0.4
The problems is:
From the SUN connected to B, over FDDI to D, then over E or F to
G or H at A and from there to clients connected via 10B2 NFS is o.k.
But from SUN connected to B, over FDDI to C there's no NFS function
over the four connected ethernet ports to A.

This may be related to a problem in DEFBA150.BIN (fixed in 1.5.2).
I suggest that you upgrade your DEChub, DEF6X and DEFBA's to the revs in
the 4.1 consolidated firmware kit.
