3070.0. "how do I turn routing on DECswitch900EF?" by DPDMAI::GALVIN (The Energizer Bunny's Trainer...) Fri Dec 15 1995 01:48

    	Setup Routing on DECswitch 900EF
    
    I have copied the files, decswitch900ef-ip-v103.bin and mp-v103.bin.
    I want to turn routing on this switch, as part of a DEChub900 I have.
    
    When I try to do the upload, I get TFTP timeout... 1.) do I have the
    right files?  2.) how to I enable TFTP?
    
    I have an AlphaStation 250 that I've copied these files over the net...
    	I have setup an AUI > DELNI > DECswitch 'LAN' temporarily to
    perform the above... is there something I'm missing...other than
    documentation...smile.

Re: .0

It sounds as if you have the right files for the 900EF.  The upgrade process
usually goes pretty easily.  You either:
        - use HUBLOAD and treat the routing binary file as a firmware upgrade
        - use a TFTP server and use to module setup menu option to upgrade
                via TFTP
Once you have loaded the upgrade, then use the new module setup menu to
config an IP address. At this point then you need to use TELNET to talk to
the router cosole, and configure routing. You can either use a TELNET app
of choice or use HUBwatch, double click on the module and launch TELNET. You
cannot redirect the HUB setup port to 900EF/MP (or IP) and talk to the router
console.

PS In case you ever want to convert this or another 900EE/EF back to level 2
switching, you need connect to the router console, and use the 
TALK 6/BOOT/LOAD REMOTE command to reload (from a TFTP server) the level 2
switching .BIN file

        Re; .-1

        One more note -- use HUBwatch V4.1.2 or later to work
        with routing on DECswitches -- use no version before its time :-)
