3844.0. "DECbridge 90 DEC/IEEE STP" by COMICS::BUTT (Give me the facts real straight.) Fri Sep 06 1996 05:07

    I have a DECbridge 90 in a mixed DEC/IEEE STP LAN. 
    
    To my surprise the bridge90 was sending out DEC bridge hellos with
    the IEEE root's MAC address as Root in the the DEC hellos.
    
    I hate to think what havoc this could cause !

    Since there is no lockdown mode on the DB 90 it should migrate
    to IEEE mode.  Is there an LB 100 on the network?  There is also
    a new V4.0 image which has a change in the spanning tree code,
    however I am not 100% sure it would fix this problem.

3844.2Is there a problem here ??NETCAD::GORDONMon Sep 09 1996 12:008
    I just loaded the new dewgb V4.0 code in one of my bridge's....
    It never comes back online...MOD OK never gets active.
    A mop connect leaves me at the >> prompt.
    
    Anyone else have any problems with this new code ?????
