He is saying they need to be at SMT level 6.2
Is what's shown above the REAL SMT level, and if so is there
a firmware upgrade to change this?
thanks,

Why do they want to be at SMT level 6.2? EVERYONE wants to be at SMT
7.3. I doubt that there's a firmware downgrade available for DEFTA to
do this. ---------

| 1567.2 | SMT ID version 2 == SMT level 7.3 ?? | CSC32::B_GRUBBS | Wed Feb 01 1995 11:07 | 9 | |
well actually my wording was bad. He said 6.2 minimum level.
The netstat command shows SMT ID version 2.....from what you
are saying this maps to SMT version 7.3 ???
If this output REALLY means they are SMT version 7.3 that's fine..

Looking up my handy-dandy SMT 7.2 spec...
"fddiSMTOpVersionId should equal 2 for this SMT revision"
I am assuming that the SMT ID being displayed is coming from this
SMT MIB object. So, yes, the value should be at 2 and the SMT revision
is at 7.3.
