LM 2.2/2.2b Server Fails With CSLIM=8A1E/CSLIM=8A0E (114200)
This article was previously published under Q114200
SYMPTOMS
The failure CSLIM=8A1E is reported on LAN Manager 2.2 systems; CSLIM=8A0E
on LAN Manager 2.2b systems. Serious network problems may be observed at
the time of failure, including frame misalignments, corrupt packets and
excessively high network utilization. Multiple traps across multiple
servers may occur simultaneously, since all servers receive the same
corrupt packets.
CAUSE
The network protocol driver receives a truncated DLC administrative frame
(RR) because an adapter or bridge malfunctions under network stress and
generates a truncated packet that contains a valid cyclical redundancy
check (CRC) but incomplete NetBEUI data.
RESOLUTION
NETBEUI.OS2 and NETBEUI.EXE for MS-DOS have been fixed so that truncated
frames are now rejected even if they pass a CRC check by the network
adapter driver. However, the network device responsible for creating the
truncated packets must be repaired to assure proper network performance.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in OS/2 LAN Manager versions
2.2 and 2.2b. A fix has been created and is included in: CSD00.089. Contact
Microsoft Product Support Services for information on its availability.
