Hi David, To begin with, on host side you have network mask for A-class IP address defined as for C-class address. Which is ok (or *may* be ok), but subnet/broadcast masks definitions mismatch on host side and VAX side. You need to have them equal. This also distorts routing table on the host side.
Note "may" in "may be ok". Though A/B/C class scheme is supposed to be retured, I'd rather stick to it until as initial step, just because not all software, especially legacy software, may implement non-standard masking 100% correctly. (As a matter of fact I have a set-up that uses A-class private subnet, but it uses standard-size A class masks, i.e. 255.0.0.0 rather than 255.255.255.0.) Fix this for a start and see what happens. This said, it is suspicious that DELQA MAC address does not appear in list of MAC addresses seen by the bridge and that tap0 counters are all 0. But begin by fixing masks, do some pinging, and if it still does not work repost new data. Also see if SHOW DEVICE XQ /FULL indicates any errors. - Sergey ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, September 4, 2012 10:10:52 AM Subject: Re: [Simh] Connecting to Ethernet Sergey I printed the data you asked for and made no changes to VAX because they looked OK to me.
