[comp.sys.apollo] SR10.2 and net_ids; help needed

jnp@mjolner.tele.nokia.fi (J|rgen N|rgaard) (02/26/90)

Locally we have experienced some strange changes from SR10.1 to SR10.2:

  -) it seems that the ethernet interface no longer accepts net_id != 100.
     this was not so in SR10.1 (we positively know that we ran with
     net_id=0, net_id=1 and maybe a few more).

     Is it intended to be so ? Or is it a bug ?
     (The local HP/Apollo claims it was so under SR10.1 also ... :-( )

     {It's pretty annoying that all small Apollo networks sees each other
      in a big network like ours. We don't want to know about machines &
      users 500 km away. And fail to see it being sound to have to buy
      network filters!}

  -) Furthermore the rwhod/ruptime under SR10.2 has severe trouble seeing
     it self. Once in a while it will update the status of it self.
     But the status of remote machines are correct & the remote machines
     actually sees the Apollo as begin up (!)

     Same question as above ...


I'll appreciate any response. Will be "glad" to hear from people with the
same behavior.
