4453.0. "Hub assisted loads...or NOT" by rtpdial1_port6.rtp.dec.com::Gallagher (Life is good!) Thu Jun 05 1997 17:50

Referencing note 2379.1...

       The latest version of HUBloader CANNOT do hub assisted loads of
    the DECrepeater 900TM, 900GM, 900FP (aka PORTswitch 900FP), 90TS,
    or 90FS. It is not a problem with HUBloader but has to do with the
    hardware implementation of those devices. You MUST put an IP address
    in each of them and do a direct load. 
    
       HUBloader does support hub assisted upgrades of the new PORTswitch
    900TP and 900CP.
    
       The reference to the version of NETrider loader is related to some
    timeout issues with the original version.
    
This note was dated Jun 95.  My customer is interested in the current list
of modules which canNOT be loaded via hub assist.  We know for a fact that
the newest module they purchased, a VNswitch 900EF is one such animal.

Would someone please point me in the right direction to obtain such a list.

Thanx,
Ed Gallagher
p.s. They are running ClearVisn V1.1a and it's respective product versions
(i.e. Flash Loader V1.3a, etc.) on Windows NT V4.0
