964.0. "WR90 load problem" by OTOOA::kap954.kao.dec.com::MMcgregor () Thu Apr 10 1997 20:46

I am installing a WANrouter 90 on a customer site with the DECROU 
configurator on a PC.

The install of the DECROU and WR90 software seemed to go fine and 
then I did the config from DECROU for the router.

However when I try to load the router all starts out fine but then 
the load fails when trying to load the management script.

Sequence as follows,

	- Power on the WR90 and completes selftest,
	- Requests a MOP load of the system image,
	- load successful, all three lights are on,
	- requests load of management script
	- load error reported on the MOP console from DECROU,
	- WR90 no message on the console but now the system OK light 
	  is flashing and the power and network Leds are on solid.
	- router provides no message and no further messages on the 
	  mop console.

Is this possibly a config error or have i missed something with the 
install.

Thanks,
	Malcolm

	>However when I try to load the router all starts out fine but then >the load fails when trying to load the management script. If the load fails with a MOP0033 error, this is normal and documented in the release notes, section 3.2. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 3.2 Error Message Following a Successful Load During a MOP load of the script file, the DEC WANrouter V1.3 software does not acknowledge the final load message. This means that some load hosts display an error message, even when the script is loaded successfully. In particular, PC MOP reports the error message: MOP0033: ERROR - load failed A DECNIS proxy load host reports an event message such as: Event: Load Request Failed from: Node ROAD:.sho.dnis32 MOP Circuit W618-7-2, at: 1993-10-01-09:43:01.290-07:00Iinf Reason=Transmit Error, Address=, Client=kelly1, Program Type=Management, File=road:.lkg.ultris::/usr/lib/mop/vr2_kelly1.bin ---------------------------------------------------------------- > - WR90 no message on the console but now the system OK light > is flashing and the power and network Leds are on solid. Again, is normal. Just before the WANrouter 90 shipped they changed the behavior of this LED. The installation guide says it should be steady, but early versions of the release notes documented that it should now blink. I think the reasoning was that a steady-state LED would not indicate if the unit was hung in a loop. The blinking state is supposed to mean that all the code routines are still executing, nothing is hung, and reinforce that to the users by providing a blinking LED. > - router provides no message and no further messages on the > mop console. This is just the way it works. All further management must be done from NCL on the PC. Mike Sheldon CSC/CS Network Support

	Why then is the network led on solid. Should this not be used to indicate traffic flow.

	>Why then is the network led on solid. Should this not be used to >indicate traffic flow. This is normal, once the software has loaded. There is no indication of traffic flow. As Mike said, the power and network LEDs should be on solid and the system LED should be flashing. Have you tried NCL SHOW NODE .... ALL ?
