3094.0. "What does a flashing module ok LED mean.." by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Steven Freke) Thu Dec 21 1995 09:47

Folks
	I have a decswitch 900ef whci is running 1.5 I am told that this is
the route-about code, by proteon.

The power light is on but the module ok one is flashing once a second. The
book says that this is a non-fatal error, and that the bridge will continue
to work. But it does not. I have the dump codes, they are:

PC=00000044 SR=2300 M=00000000 C=0002

Any ideas, I really need some help here.

3094.1Need more specific information please.....NETCAD::BATTERSBYThu Dec 21 1995 11:0411
    You'll have to be more specific about this DECswitch 900EF you have.
    You say it is "running 1.5". Can you be more specific here? when
    you look at the console menu 3 can you see the revisions of the
    hardware, ROM, and firmware? Does the unit appear to be running
    as a bridge/switch, or is it running as a router? There is a revision
    of switch code for this product that is old but it is 1.5.0.
    When you dump the error log, you get more information than what you
    have entered. Can you provide a more detailed error log dump, that
    is available from the console?

	Thanks for your timely reply. I have been speaking to a few people 
about this problem, and the general concensus seems to be that we need more
information about what he wants the module to do, and what he thinks he
should be running to do this.

I will try and get the full dump, and post that here. I will also try and 
get the output, from the sho current settings option. As soon as I get 
this information I will post it.

Regards
	Steven

3094.3need more infoNETCAD::CURRIERFri Dec 22 1995 13:2719
    you need to get the name of the devices as advertized by the firmware
    as well as the version number.  
    
    if you have a mib brouser, get sysDescr
    
    if the device is in a hub, redirect the setup port to the device and
    get info about the device
    
    if you are using hubwatch, if you double click on the device from the
    main hubwatch screen and you get another window called the bridge
    summary window, then you definitely DO NOT have router code in the
    device.
    
    note that version numbers are unique to the firmware and many devices
    have been at version 1.5
