Does anyone have a VAX running VMS connected via
ethernet to a Cisco 2950
series switch? I have had the VAX connected to a 2900XL series switch for a
year with no problem, but in doing upgrades, moving it to the 2950 has
caused major character delays, and other problems between the VAX and
clients connecting to it. Everything else connected to the switch is working
fine.
Check the speed and duplex of the ports on your switch. The preference
is to forcibly set 10 or 100Mbps, full or half duplex on both ends, and
not to rely on autonegotiation.
Also, check the CPU of the switch. Try other ports on the switch.
Replace the cable. Try a crossover between a PC and the VAX.
There are so many little things that could be causing the problem. Mail
me off-list if you would like a hand, and I'll see what I can do!
Best wishes,
Peter.
