1619.0. "DECswitch EF reboots intermittently" by STKHLM::DUFVA (Nils Dufva - TSSC G�vle Sweden) Fri Mar 10 1995 07:37
Also posted in the HUB_MGNT notesfile:
Hi,
A customer has two DECswitch 900EF (DEFBA-MA rev. A01)that reboots very
intermittently, once or twice a month. Not at the same moment, but last
Monday both switches rebooted within two hours. 
They have got V1.4.1 s/w which was said to contain some debug code.
The config is five DECconcentrator 500:s on a dual ring. To these are
several SAS systems connected as well as two DECswitch 900EF with dual-
homing to different DC500:s.
The DEFCN:s are V3.3 (and V3.4 in one case), according to the customer.
The only thing I noticed is that they have a complex bridge config with more
than seven bridges (Ethernet & FDDI) in serial. The network map was unclear,
but there might be nine bridges in serial.
