[DECServer 90L+ has everything in firmware]
Not knowing the history of this DECServer (I have had
it a few years
and I can not remember the source) I am not sure if there is a
configuration issue, or a hardware issue.
I guess it is time to look into it a little more.
I just had a more in depth look at what the DECServer is putting onto
the network. First thing seems to be an Ethernet frame of type 0x3433
with the terminal servers Ethernet address in both the source and
destination fields. I am guessing this first frame is part of the
POST.
Second are some Ethernet frames of type 0x6002. According to a quick
bit of googling (easier than looking it up in a book - bad Simon) this
is MOP remote console action. So, there does seem to be some internal
configuration that needs to be optimised away. Does anyone have a good
incantation for the return to factory settings?
Many thanks.
Simon
