Hello All,
1. Is DECndu v1.1 for Ultrix available on the network?
2. Will V1.1 of the DECbridge 610 f/w allow SNMP "sets"?
3. Does it work dll'ing via the FDDI interface (instead of ethernet?)
I've a customer trying to use ndu v1.1 (setld shows NDUBIN110) on
his DS5000 to upgrade a DB610 with the following command:
"ndu -i -v -c fza0 -u ether_addr /usr/kits/FEB_II110/defeb_6xx_110.sys"
he gets:
"ndu: beginning downline load"
"error during parameter load"
Then, a subsequent display of the bridge's attributes shows V1.0
f/w still intact.
Any responses or pointers to s/w on the net (so's I can try it here
in the lab) appreciated.

| 431.1 | update - fails only on FDDI port of DS5000.. | BSS::C_OUIMETTE | Holographic Interference Repository | Wed Dec 18 1991 20:02 | 14 |
Update: I had the customer try doing the upgrade via the DS5000's
ethernet port instead of the FDDI port- It worked fine. Ultrix 4.2.
So: known bug/limitation with ndu V1.1?
Also, he can't ping the DB610 unless he puts a manual ARP entry on the
spurce node, we suspect perhaps a problem with the IP netmask on the
DB610... is this settable? (thus, the request for documentation in this
& following note...)
Any pointers/answers appreciated.

Chuck,
I have just had the same problem -trying to load a Decbridge
600 from NDU for Ultrix using the FDDI port. This failed with the same
error message so I tried using the Ethernet port and it worked ok.
I would agree it looks like a bug - thanks for posting the workaround!
John.
