I had a look through rather a large pile of faxes, and lo and behold, here 
it is.

I guess the first entry is the latest one. There are quite a few so here goes.

4153.17The error log indicates problems with an Ethernet portNETCAD::BATTERSBYFri Jan 24 1997 10:5415
    Ok 3 of those 4 error log entries point to a problem with the
    Lance ports. Test ID's 920, 921, are related to port 3 (second 
    Ethernet port on an EF) diagnostic tests. Test B01 is an internal
    diagnostic loopback test to test the each of the Ethernet ports.
    The Test ID of "DEAD" with an error code 23C0 is a firmware reported
    error which might be a second order affect of attempting to do
    some backplane operation with that defective Ethernet port.
    When one port goes bad, what one should have seen I believe, is
    that the module runs its POST on power up, detects a single Ethernet
    port failure, but continues and allow eventual hand-over to firmware.
    I think too that the Module OK LED might blink on and off indicating a
    non-fatal failure. That would have been an indication that all
    wasn't fine with the module.

    This seems to tie up with Carl Mowers response from the SNMP trace
    taking during the attempt to add the leg onto the LAN. This indicated
    that the problem was a faulty ethernet port (port 3).
    
    Thanks for all the help

4153.19Yup it makes perfectly good sense now....NETCAD::BATTERSBYFri Jan 24 1997 14:003
    I absolutely concur and agree.
