1376.0. "SMT frame ffrom DECbridge900" by TKTVFS::IDO (Naoki Ido, CSC/TOKYO, EWB, DTN 680-2456) Tue Jun 14 1994 13:26

DECbridge900 always transmits strange SMT frame with fixed value of the 
Station ID (0000008040C020A0). Lower 64 bits in this field must specify 
MACSMTaddress but any DB900 has this constant value.
I have seen an interoperability problem with some vendors, particularly, some
FDDI ring management station that is using active method gets easy confusing.

I have seen this on any firmware version even in latest V1.2.1. I would like 
the fix asap but is it yet available?

Naoki

1376.2Can I get the fix much earlier?TKTVFS::IDONaoki Ido, CSC/TOKYO, EWB, DTN 680-2456Tue Jun 14 1994 22:387
Luc,

When is the scheduled date for next upgrade? 60 days later? 
If so I can't wait for so much. Can I get the fix much earlier?

Thanks,
Naoki

"60 days" means 60 days after the original release.  So it won't be all
that long.
