3806.0. "Chart of part ID and Module name" by NQOS01::nqsrv201.nqo.dec.com::LOVE (Are we having fun yet?) Thu Aug 22 1996 21:57

Is there a chart somewhere that matches the part ID with the module name?  I 
need to get the current firmware upgrade for the DECbridge 900MX which is the 
same as DECswitch 900EF.  At the web site the patches are listed by part ID.  
I know the ID is on the module but it is on the inside and the module has to 
be removed inorder to read it, this will bring down half of a very large 
network.  If not could the web site not have a comment listing the module 
name.

    The older DECswitches shipped as DECbridges were also called DEFBA's. 
    So the image on the web page listed as "DEFBA_161.bin" ... or whatever
    the most current version number is, will also load to an older
    DECbridge 900MX. 
    I hope this is what you mean by "part ID", that is, the option
    name of the product. For the 900MX switch and the 900EF switch
    they are both known and identified as a DEFBA. The name was changed
    from "DECbridge" to "DECswitch" as a marketing response to the 
    competitions use of the "switch" in their product names.
