3596.0. "DECswitch 900EF Increases ifInErrors after upgrading firmware" by SWETSC::TORLIND_L () Thu Jun 06 1996 10:11

				Hi,
After one of our customer upgraded the DECswitch 900 EF firmware to V1.5.2
the ifInErrors increases with one every 10 seconds. We have located the source
of these errors. It is a Kodax printer that sends out a broadcast every 8
seconds. it is the same type of packet each time. I can't see anything wrong
with this packet. 

Is this a bug?? Below is one of those packets causing these errors.

Thank's in advance,
Lars-�ke Torlind.

3596.3Enable the IPX switch in the DECswitch900EF....NETCAD::BATTERSBYDon&#039;t use time/words carelesslyFri Jun 07 1996 13:078
    Ok, this frame looks like it's a raw-ipx frame type.
    The Kodak printer (source address of 00-04-C8-09-04-46)
    is sending out the raw-ipx advertizing for a file server.
    The solution is to go into the DECswitch's local console 
    (or using HUBwatch/MCM (Multichassis Manager) whichever you 
    have, and enable the IPX switch.
