We have installed some Cabletron ELS10 SmartSwitch hubs (3) and since then
have been logging errors displayed on dxconsole and /var/adm/messages on
all our Alphas. The hardware addresses are the MAC addresses for all ports
on the hubs that are active (in use).

used by hardware address 00-00-1D-66-7D-EE!

As you can notice, we have been trying to resolve this over the last 2
weeks with Digital and Cabletron... but no luck so far.

Appreciate any insight or resolution.

Keith.
