Line Error Reporting on PathBuilder S5xx Series Switch Statistics Display

T3 Bandwidth Limitation

MBRI Ownership During Board Swapping

The PathBuilder series switch reports FSI CRCs under the path statistics. This entry reflects line errors after hardware error assisted recovery has taken place. The number of actual line errors present before hardware error assisted recovery has taken place may be much higher.

Due to a driver limitation you cannot combine two T3 paths to double the bandwidth.

Port ownership and port/path naming inconsistencies can occur as MBRI boards are swapped in and out of a NETBuilder II bridge/router chassis. Replacing an MBRI board with a non-MBRI board in the same slot requires that the NETBuilder II bridge/router be rebooted. After the bridge/router is rebooted, there are no port/path naming problems.

Multiport MBRI Module The Multiport MBRI module cannot be configured using SNMP.

Token Ring Auto The Token Ring and Token Ring+ modules may enter the ring at the wrong speed Start-upwith certain MAU or station configurations. You can manually configure the -PATH

BAud value to 16,000 or 4,000 to avoid this situation.
