1269.0. "DC900MX: diff HW/RO DO NOT TALK TO EACH OTHER" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Wed Aug 03 1994 12:21

Customer got replacements for faulty concentrators and installed them in
the hub with MAM 3.0.

The old concentrators are
HW=V1.0
RO=1.1
SW=V2.0

The new concentrators are
HW=V2.0
RO=V1.2
SW=V2.0

One FDDI lan is created and all the concentrators are connected to the FDDI
lan channel.

All system are in the same IP subnet.
All systems connected to the old concentrators can talk to each other.
All systems connected to the new concentrators can talk to each other.
BUT SYSTEMS ARE NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER WHEN CONNECTED TO
OLD AND NEW.

It seems like there are 2 seperate FDDI lans internally, when there are all
connected to only 1 FDDI lan.

Is there a compatability bug between HW and RO versions of the concentrators??
