3092.0. "DECbridge 90 LED question" by UFP::LARUE (Jeff LaRue: Regional Network Consultant) Wed Dec 20 1995 12:59

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a DECbridge 90 problem.......is it
    a correct/normal condition for the L1 (bridge forwarding state)
    led to be on if I just power-up the bridge without connecting it
    to anything?  (I do have a 't' connector on the backbone port)
    
    We just replaced the bridge module with this new one....and we
    are not seeing any traffic go through the bridge....
    
    -tnx,
    	Jeff

3092.1	what do the other LED look like?	NPSS::RAUHALA		`Fri Dec 22 1995 11:50`	6
	when the forwarding state LED is on that means it's NOT forwarding messages. this happens for the first 30 seconds after selftest and then it should go off, so it should go off 1 minute after powerup, meaning it's then forwarding. ken
3092.2		UFP::LARUE	Jeff LaRue: Regional Network Consultant	`Wed Jan 03 1996 10:09`	7
	My question is what happens after the 30 seconds.......will the LED go "off" even if there is no traffic to forward? ....e.g. I power-up the module in an empty backplane with a terminator on the bridge backbone port...... -tnx, Jeff
3092.3		NPSS::RAUHALA		`Thu Jan 04 1996 19:00`	2
	the LED will go off even if there is no traffic to forward. make sure there is also a terminator or connection on the work group port.

	..it's plugged into a DEChub 900 backplane..... Must be a DOA. I'll call field service, again! -tnx, Jeff

	make sure noone disabled one of the 2 ports, in which case it will never enter forwarding mode. SHOW PORT 1 and SHOW PORT 2
