[list.aix-l] AIX/370 token-ring

Kelly Quiros <DS004@CALPOLY.bitnet> (02/25/90)

We have recently attempted to install a token-ring adapter in our 8232-1.
Formerly there were two ethernet adapters.  Only one of the ethernet
adapters was removed.  The token-ring was assigned to AIX/370 and the
remaining ethernet adapter to VM/SP for TCP/IP.

On each of our PS/2 TCF cluster machines there is an ethernet adapter
and a token-ring adapter.

We had to return the 8232 to its original configuration and unplug the
token-ring adapter cables due to problems with HP9000 (HPUX 6.2/6.5)
systems on our network.  We are told this is related to incompatabilities
between AIX BSD 4.3 code and BSD 4.2 or older non-AIX systems.

Have others experienced this problem?  What fix if any is available at
this time?  We are still on AIX/370 LA F44 and planning an upgrade to
F50.

Thanks,
