3381.0. "DECbridge 900EF w/ router software" by RTP4ME::GALLAGHER (Put me in coach!) Wed Mar 20 1996 16:11

    
    
    My customer has installed a DECbridge 900EF w/router software in
    any slot of a DEChub 900. When he attempts to get into the module
    w/ HUBwatch by double clicking on the bridge he gets the following
    error:
    
    	Can not find SETHOST.PIF
    
    Interesting enough all other modules including a DECbridge 900EF
    w/o router software work fine.
    
    Also he's complaining of pure performance in redirect mode on the
    console after he gets into one of the module consoles.  He said the
    response time is anywhere from 2sec - 5min.  The 2sec time isn't bad,
    but the other end is unacceptable.
    
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

3381.1Once you install router software, you got a router, not a switchSLINK::HOODYour bad news bearWed Mar 20 1996 16:1714
Ed,

Once you install router software in a DECswitch, you have an entirely
different product.  You got a router, not a switch.

So, here's what you get from HUBwatch 4.1 for management:
	- Front panel bezel.
	- LAN Interconnect.
	- TELNET window.

What is being reported is SETHOST.PIF, the TELNET software, is not found
on the machine.

    Thanks for the quick response, Tom.  The customer will install
    TELNET and see how that works.
