| 9009.1 | What steps are they using? | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Brian Haley | Mon Mar 03 1997 15:02 | 15 |
| Hi,
Could you list the exact steps the customer is using to do this (I'm
assuming they aren't using netconfig/netsetup). You can also ask them
to try setting the alias via /etc/rc.config like the utilities would:
IFCONFIG_X="1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 speed 100 alias 1.2.3.5"
and then reboot.
Making sure the interface itself is working properly at 100 Mb would
be a good idea too (hopefully already tried).

| 9009.2 | how to reproduce | GIDDAY::SCHWARZ | | Mon Mar 03 1997 23:08 | 23 |
| here is what they have to do to reproduce the prolem:
>Without ASE
>1) setup an ip address and netmask on the interface ( using netsetup )
>2) ping to this address is fine
>3) add an alias to the interface
> ifconfig tu0 alias xxx netmask xxx
>4) ping of the alias address fails
> arp -a does not show up the alias address
>5) this situation does not resolve itself
>
>With ASE
>1) set up a service with an IP address
>2) fail the service over
>3) ping of alias does not work
They initially noticed with problem because the ip address was not
failing over using DECsafe. They have tested this on a v3.2d system and
it works fine.

| Hi,
I talked with someone in ASE-land and they mentioned a similar problem when
they updated one member of an ASE to 4.0b (they think). The person that did
the qual isn't in today, but I'll ask him tomorrow if there is a workaround
for this.
You might want to escalate this, just make sure to include board types/revs
and command output before and after (netstat -i and ifconfig come to mind).
Notes isn't really the place for critical problems...

| 9009.4 | Sorry, no luck | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Brian Haley | Wed Mar 05 1997 11:28 | 10 |
| Sorry,
Noone seemed to remember this exact problem, and the only person that
might know more left the company 2 weeks ago. I know that there was
failover testing with the de500 and 4.0b and all worked fine.
Hopefully you've already escalated this problem...
