3475.0. "TEST chipcom hub timesout.ucx loop ok" by GIDDAY::MURPHY () Fri Jul 31 1992 01:03

    I have a problem with a couple of chipcom online concentrators where
    UCX loop works yet DECmcc TEST fails. There also appears to be no
    problem with using snmp access. attached is an example.
    
    Decmcc version T1.2-7
    chipcom hubs are version 2.1
    
    Thanks for any help

	John,
		One possibility is that the ICMP ping is timing out.
	Can you try increasing the ICMP timeout value and running
	it again.

    Rahul,
    	Would you belive on monday morning the DECmcc workstation crashed
    and now loop and test works fine. I'll keep an eye on it.
    
    Thank you for your help

	There's no better way than crashing your system to make things
	work again.  :-)

	On a more serious note, I believe that this could easily happen.
	If the UCX process was corrupted for some reason, stopping and
	restarting it would get rid of your problem.

	Rahul.
