396.0. "tracking DEMFA errors" by KERNEL::LLOYDA (Don't worry... Be Happy ;^)) Sun Nov 17 1991 10:08

    Hi,
    
    Even when the error count on FXnn (DEMFA) units rises when various
    FDDI/hardware/network events occur, nothing is ever written to the
    error log. 
                                                         
    Is this intentional ? If so how do you track the cause of errors on
    DEMFA units ?
    
    This question is being reiased by the same customer that is querying
    the counter information in note 395.

396.1what it isSTAR::SALKEWICZIt missed... therefore, I am Mon Nov 18 1991 12:2511
    
    	When the cable is disconnected or the physical link is disabled
    somehow via conditions **EXTERNAL TO THE DEMFA**, there will be
    no error log. Yes,,.. the device will periodically be reset, and
    the error count will increase, but there is no DEMFA hardware error
    to log in these cases. We don't want to log a hardware error for
    the DEMFA everytime someone powers down the concentrator or pulls the
    FDDI cable out of the system.
