Does this same error occur if you PUT/GET to/from a UNIX workstation or a PC?
Could you also tell me where this config file is located, I would like to look
at its contents.

    
    Yes only on VMS, I have just tried on an Unix node in the lab ,
    You need only setup an ip address on the lan interface and turn 
    on rip, no more, I have already blown a few of my configurations,
    guess I should have taken a copy of my config from a Unix system!.
    (sorry NO pc)

Do you have the VMS-based config file which caused the error detailed in the
base note?  The sample config file from the VMS system looks OK using a parsing
tool which displays the information from the config file in a more
`human readable' format - the file isn't corrupted in any way.  Did the
transfer from the VMS server to the router occur in binary mode?  I would like
to attempt to tftp GET this file directly from your server.  Since I don't use
VMS, how would I do a tftp get on this file from my UNIX system?

    See note 553 -- do you have the UCX patch installed for the TFTP last
    block problem?

    I have been Putting and getting .cfg files almost daily in 
    the lab from the OSF systems I have, with no problems. You do have
    to have the right tftp path set up on the system. And what I found
    was that I had to have already created the file on the system and
    set the rw privs, for this to work. Sometimes the error message
    you get on the RouteABT re TFTP, doesn't always tell you the truth.
    
    I usually create a file relavent to the module I'm testing on,
    and the configuraton for the tests I'm running.
    For example I put all .cfg files, and loadable images on the
    system I use in /usr/var/download, so in the download directory 
    If I'm testing ip on a Accessworks EW, I would execute the following
    commands on the OSF/Unix system
    
    # touch AW_bridge.cfg
    # chmod 777 AW_Bridge.cfg
    
    on the module:
    
    * t 6
    config> boot
    Boot config>tftp put
          local filename [CONFIG]?
          remote host [0.0.0.0]? 16.200.0.13
          host filename [10C800EF.cfg]? /usr/var/download/AW_Bridge.cfg
    
    When I change to test for IP I would then use the get command for
    an IP.cfg file I had previously put in the download area. IE;
    
    config> boot
        Boot config>tftp get
              local filename [CONFIG]?
              remote host [0.0.0.0]? 16.200.0.13
              host filename [10C800EF.cfg]? /usr/var/download/AW_IP.cfg
    
    As long as I have connectivity ie can ping to the module. I've had
    no instances of losing my configuration.
    
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks all,
    
    Sorry I have just read the replies, .5 please note I did not say that
    I had problems with OSF/Unix Systems, my problem is on Alpha/VMS using
    UCX, I suspect the UCX patch will resolve this problem, either way I
    will update this entry when I have experimented.
