3762.0. "module not responding... connection closed?" by SCASS1::GALVIN (The Energizer Bunny's Trainer...) Thu Aug 01 1996 15:51

    	How do I configure IP on a DEChub900?
    
    I have a DH900 with a 900EF switch  & 4 900TM repeaters.  My goal is to
    configure the hub so I will have the following LAN interconnects:
    
    SLOT 8 	- 900EF		166.34.121.239
    SLOT 7	- 900TM		166.34.121.243
    SLOT 6	- 900TM		166.34.123.46
    SLOT 5	- 900TM		166.34.123.65 (different subnet)
    
    I have connected the 900EFs AUI port to an H4005 ethernet tap to
    provide my .121 LAN.	- THIS WORKS!
    
    I have configured the 900TM in SLOT 7 attached my workstation the
    the repeater with no problems.	- THIS WORKS!
    
    I have configured the 900TM in SLOT 6, attached it to a BRIDGED PORT of
    a router, that is BRIDGED to another port on the SAME router.
    
    PROBLEM:  I can PING to SLOT 8, SLOT 7 and the 2 ports on my router.
    	In otherwords, from 166.34.121.7 > 166.34.121.239, .243 and
    	166.34.123.44, .45 (2 router LAN ports).
    	I CAN'T PING to the 900TM in SLOT 6 (166.34.123.46)
    
    In using the LAN INTERCONNECT we are unsure of how the multiple LANs
    work... which provides the backplan?  (the blue '1')
    
    We configured the HUB's IP address, 166.34.121.244, using it's console.
    I can configure the line cards, using redirect mode we get "module not
    responding, connection closed..."
    
    When we look at the line cards, after resetting... the IP addresses get
    set, but when we double click on the card from HUBWATCH, each card says
    it has an IP address of 166.34.121.244 (the HUB's address) and NOT the
    address we provide it...
    
    help!
