Carrier Check Failure

[Guillou_2]

Hi,

We have just changed our Alphaserver 2100 (vms6.2, ucx4.2, decnet V) by a DS10 (vms7.3-1, tcpip v5.3-18, decnet osi 7.3-1). The new server report carrier check failure every 10 seconds on "station csmacd-1" which corresponds to the second network card which is not in use.

How can I avoid this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards

Steph.

to avoid/solve the problem.

Hi,

You can connect this card to the network. If you dont need the card disable it in the network cofiguration (or simplier do not configure it when you configure decnet and tcpip).

For the decnet osi check the ncl scripts in the sys$manager directory and comment out the references to csmacd-1.
For the tcpip do a set nointerface and set configuration nointerface.

reconfigure DECnet to remove the second card (I expect it was automagically configured). @SSY$STARTUP:NET$CONFIGURE ADVANCED

Further to Ian's reply...

when it prompts you for the name of the
circuit CSMACD-1, respond with NONE

Steph,,


YOU have to do this:
* Open this thread (*you will have if you read this...;-))
* there is a pulldown box in the header of each contribution. Scroll down and select the point you want to give (but do this according the recommendations)
* do this for each contributor
* click the "Submit points" button

And steph,

if you really intend to follow up on Willem's and Antonio's wishes not to receive points for the advise on HOW to give points, then still ASSIGN point: you can also assign 0 (zero) points.
But that way, the entry is no longer "Unassigned", and in your own profile you do not have the irritating "I assigned points to answers to topics".

And, to explain Antonio's Bunny remark: a topic is considered "solved", and gets a bunny, if you assign at least 8 points to at least 1 answer.

Jan
(like Willem & Antonio, this also merits no points)
