1780.0. "decswitch 900 ef crash" by GIDDAY::POPPINS () Thu Aug 17 1995 03:09

Hi all,	
	we have DECswitch 900 EF which is crashing intermittantly, about twice
a day. We have just dumped the errorlog in the DECswitch and we get the
following information

	FRU mask 0
	TEST ID= DEAD
	error data: sr=2100
		    pc=30361c2
		    error code=13b

The module saves three more copies of this information and they are all the
same. The module is running version 1.2 code.

We have replaced this with one from logistics and the new one was supplied as a
DECbridge 900 MX running the same version. 

Questions:
1) What does this error indicate?
2) Is it likely to be resolved in the next version of the code (vers 1.5)?

thanks in advance

1780.1Error 13B is fixed in new rev firmware for DECswitch (DECbridge)NETCAD::BATTERSBYThu Aug 17 1995 14:2323
    > same. The module is running version 1.2 code.
    
    Wow, this is *old* rev image!
    
    >Questions:
    >1) What does this error indicate?
    
    13B is triggered by large packets (>1500 bytes) received over the FDDI
    and destined to the bridge.
    
    2) Is it likely to be resolved in the next version of the code (vers
    1.5)?
    
    This is fixed in the wave 3 code version 1.5. Please update your
    customers unit! In hand with updating the DECswitch 900EF
    image, please be sure to upgrade the HUB firmware, *and* upgrade
    to the latest version of HUBwatch. This is all in the interest of
    being able to not only take advantage of all the new features, 
    but of course to guarantee that your customer will not see any
    wierdness when using old rev HUB (MAM) code while using new rev
    HUBwatch (or visa-versa), along with the upgraded switch.
