fta0:Halted messages occur

[권진호]

Hi all,

I am using Alpha4100 566MHZ 2CPU/2048MB
Tru64 Unix 4.0E.

The "fta0:Halted messages" are recorded in /var/adm/messages file.

I guess it's network error messages.

Why does it happen?

Please tell me!

Thank you!

regards,
Man

This may be problem with your FDDI NIC.
So check cables and other FDDI devices (MAU, CAU etc).

Thank at your kind reply.

The contents of "Halted messages" are as following;

vmunix:fta0:Halted
vmunix:fta0:Reason: Network Hardware Fault
vmunix:fta0:Link Unavailable
vmunix:fta0:Link Available
vmunix:fta0:Link transmit failure

I exchanged network cards, but they still happen.

Why does "Network Hardware Fault" message happen?

Thanks you!

regards,
Man.

That could be that the system does not detects link, do you see the link led on? Network cable and the connection to the switch is ok?
