Hello
A question on the ring purger election process:
Configuration: Gigaswitch port 5----------------------Cisco Router
Gigaswitch port 19--------------------Decconcentrator500
| |
Silicongrafic Workstation
Gigaswitch port 6,20,22,23 etc --------Fiber loopback
Ring purger enabled on all ports
Ring purger status
Port 5 Candidate
Port 19 Purger
Port 6,20,22,23 etc Candidate
Questions
1) I don't understand why port 5 doesn't become the ring purger, because it's
the only one on that ring who can do the purging.
2) Why are all ports with a loopback ring Purger candidate
Regards Gerrit

| 1466.1 | Known bug | NPSS::MDLYONS | Michael D. Lyons - Young enough and dumb enough | Thu Oct 06 1994 14:28 | 7 |
It's a bug, which I believe has been fixed, but not yet released.
From the BL2.1 release notes:
"In a two-station ring, if the non-GIGAswitch station does not
support ring purger, a GIGAswitch system will fail to be elected ring
purger."

This bug is not fixed and is currently low on the priority list
to have this fixed. If this is extremely high priority for you
please contact the product manager Dennis Majikas
(school::Majikas).

| 1466.3 | how to see who... | CSC32::J_SHUMWAY | Fri Apr 07 1995 15:53 | 2 | |
How do you determine who the elected ring purger is? I was not able
to see this via SDA or NCL.
