2256.0. "DEFPA-DA Looks Like an Ethernet Interface" by VAXRIO::VENTRIGLIA () Tue Jun 03 1997 07:46

    
    Hi,
    
    I have two systems in a FDDI ring. One Alpha 400 with Windows NT 4.0 and
    one Alpha 1000 with Digital Unix 4.0A, both with a DEFPA-DA interface.
    
    After I have installed Polycenter Manager on Netview 4.1B, only the
    Windows NT system was discovered as belonging to the FDDI ring. The Unix
    system appears in the ethernet segment.
    
    Does anyone have any hint for this situation?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Jose

At first,
You should query interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType mib value under mib-2
by using MIB browser.

If you receive a response as "fddi" (Integer 15),
it's a NetView's side problem. 

If not "fddi", 
it's a Digital UNIX SNMP daemon's problem.

NetView auto-topology function locates nodes under proper segment icons
that depend on ifType values responsed from SNMP agents.
In case, ifType can't be correctly recognized by NetView or
not SNMP runnging devices will be located to BUS segment.
