Unix Host On A Slip Interface - Cabletron Systems CSMIM2-16 Installation Manual

In Set Up mode, both the CSMIM2 and erpcd on the load server host
display boot progress reports. The CSMIM2 displays its reports on the
console; erpcd displays its reports on the terminal that invokes test mode.
• To place the CSMIM2 into Set Up mode, press the Set Up switch after
a reset and wait for monitor prompt.
• To place erpcd on the load server host into test mode, kill the erpcd
program (requires superuser privileges) and restart it using the -D
option:
# /etc/erpcd -D
When the CSMIM2 boots in Set Up mode, the console displays the load
server host's Internet address, and indicates whether it receives a response
to its Open File Request and to any of its Read File Requests. The host's
progress report indicates receipt of any File Server Requests and its
responses to such requests. The host displays erpc_return 0 if it
successfully receives a request and is sending out an affirmative response.
If any CSMIM2-related files are missing or cannot be installed, contact
technical support.

UNIX Host on a SLIP Interface

When troubleshooting a UNIX host at the end of a SLIP network
interface, make sure:
• The host is booted and functioning properly.
• The SLIP link is connected correctly.
• The Internet addresses are correct for both sides of the SLIP link.
• All CSMIM2 software is installed properly on the host. See the
CSMIM2 Installation Notes.
• The erpcd daemon or tftp server, which loads the operational image
to the CSMIM2, is running.
A PC host running the XENIX operating system has both the erpcd and
slipd daemons (provided with the distribution and installed in the file
/etc) running in the background on the PC. Set the CSMIM2 and the
erpcd on the load host into Set Up mode:
