Bay 5000 - 5605P module problems |
|
|
Hi guys!
I've bought a old Bay Stack including some tokenRing, fibre and
ethernet stuff.
yesterday, i tried using the 5605p ethernet host module. connected
10Mbit devices work fine, but connected 100Mbit devices don't. link
led's on the 100Mbit ports are orange, ping doesn't work. i tried
setting different speeds/duplex modes on the cards and on the module
(fixed 100Mbit HD/FD). when setting back the 100Mbit cards to 10Mbit
everything works.
RTFM wasn't possible, because STFW received no results.
any help/manuals would be great.

A 5605P board has a number of different ethernet segements on the backplane; 12
10Mbit and 6 100Mbit if memory serves. All of the segements are isolated from
each other, so you need to bridge them together yourself. You can designate
one port for each segement you want to use as the "uplink" port for that
segement, and then connect all of the uplink ports to a seperate 10/100 switch,
or a switch board in the same chassis if you have one, such as a 5625. Yes,
it'd kind of hackish, but then it's pretty old equipment.

Some focused searching around www.nortel.com should turn up lots of manuals.
