543.0. ""Unknown Error" from OBM SET operation" by GUCCI::DMCCLOUD (Dennis McCloud - SOA ANC) Mon Apr 20 1992 11:05

    Recently while setting up one of the new DECconcentrator 500s with
    out-of-band management I noticed that the message that you get
    when attempting to do a SET operation without enabling the
    update switch is "unknown error".  A suggestion would be to give
    the user an informative message like "Set operation not allowed -
    enable update switch and retry operation".
    
    I was attempting to set the IP address from the OBM port and had
    thrown the hardware switch but had not turned the update switch
    option ON from the SET menu.

	Are you sure? You should be able to do sets on the bridge as long as the (hard) write access switch is down - the update switch should make no difference since it refers to microcode reload John.
