Hi managers,
>From last saturday on, I have some problems with the fddi network. On
saturday,
it started with our 2 servers (2100) (server1 and server2) which are in
a Digital ASE cluster.
One server couldn't see the other one any more. I could't do a ping from
one server
to another. On server1, I still could do a ping to other servers but on
server2, ping
answered with the message:
ping: sendto: No buffer space available.
I rebooted server2 and everything went fine again.
On Thursday morning, during the backup of server1 to server3 (where the
tape is connected to),
I got the message:
fta0: MAC CRC Error: DA: ... => SA: ...
where DA represents the hardware address of the FDDI interface of
server1 and SA that of the
FDDI interface of server3.
Today, I received on my 4 Unix servers (at the same time) the SAME
following error message:
fta0: MAC CRC Error: DA: ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff => SA: 00-60-97-46-b6-5c
I have the impression that something with the network is going wrong.
Until now, we newer had
this error messages.
- Could you give me any hints on this problem how I could detect the
problem source?
- Is there a way to track the HW-address 00-60-97-46-b6-5c because I
don't know to
who this address belongs to?
- Is there anyone who experienced similar problems?
- I suppose it is a HW problem but could this problem also be a SW
problem?
Thanks,
