8637.0. "problems with DE500-XA Rev 1.1 and V4.0B" by AUBER::DORNANO () Wed Jan 29 1997 15:16
I have a customer with a Alpha 1000 under UNIX V4.0B Rev. 564 or V3.2G
(he can boot from 2 different disks, with the same hardware).
He has 2 DE500-XA, one with Rev. 1.2 at 10Mbps (tu0), the other one with
Rev 1.1 at 100Mbps half-duplex (tu1).
The one at 100Mbps is set at the console prompt as fast, and is seen
by UNIX (V3.2G or V4.0B) as : 100baseTX (_UTP) port : half duplex.
BUT, althought netconfig (V4.0B utility) could set an adress on this card,
there is no traffic at all : no output packet (more exactly no packet on
the wire, as tcpdump shows some, but they are never seen on the cable),
and no input packets received (netstat -i shows 0 Ipkts and 0 Ierrs).
All leds on the card are OK..
This do not happen in V3.2G (same machine, same Ethernet cards, same cables,
same concentrators).
Could it be a problem with Rev 1.1 of this 100Mbps card ? or with the firmware
revision of the console ?
I asked the customer to do "ifconfig tu1 speed 100" without success.
What is your thinking ?
Thanks

| 8637.1 | Try swapping cards | NETRIX::"haley@zk3.dec.com" | Brian Haley | Wed Jan 29 1997 17:25 | 11 |
| Hi,
To try and isolate the problem more, you can swap the cables and configs
between the two cards. If the 1.2 card _can_ do 100 where the 1.1 card
couldn't, then you've found a problem. The customer should be setting
"speed 100" in rc.config for the fast setup.
Hopefully the customer has the (down)time...

Is the second adapter in the same IP subnet as the first? If it is,
you'll never use the second adapter. This isn't a bug.

Thank you for your answers..
Customer set the first one at 100Mbps : worked fine.
Called MCS whi swapped the second one with a new one Rev 1.2 : OK now.
Unfortunately, I had no chance to know if the faulty one could work
in 10Mbps mode, as the customer asked for the swap before I call him back.
