4451.0. "ATMSwitch and VNSwitch900EA LECS_SVC_WAIT" by NSDP01::RV () Tue Jun 03 1997 12:49

Hi,
We have since a few hours a customer running LANE between a ATMSwitch 900 and a
couple of VNSwitch900EA.
What we have detected is that the VNSWitch900EA doesn't seems to retry
connection with the ATM switch after a failure of this one (e.g. reboot).
After waiting more than 10 minutes with a VNSwitch900 in LECS_SVC_WAITING, we
decided to restart at and we succeed to have the connection again.
Can somebody explain me if there is a retry mechanism in the VNSwitch900EA to
reestablish LECS/BUS VCP after failure.

Thanks in advance,
Robert Vandenberghe

4451.1Negotiation FixFORBIN::WILKINSONTue Jun 03 1997 16:537
    It is my understanding that this problem is fixed in V1.5.4.
    
    It was caused by a failure to properly negotiate the link
    level protocol, if the switch became active after the EA
    module.

V1.5-004 of the VNswitch EA was given to the "web gods" to put up on the
public web page this past monday (June 2cd).  It usually takes 1/2 day
from the time we submit it for it to show up on the web.  

We are looking into why 1.5-4 hasn't showed up yet.
