1633.0. "Internal Loopback of PHY PORT on DEFAA card in DEC7000 AXP running DECnet/OSI 5.7" by GIDDAY::STANISLAUS () Tue Mar 21 1995 02:17

	On a DEC7000 running VMS ver 6.1 and DECnet/OSI ver 5.7 when we do a
MC NCL SHOW FDDI STATION FDDI-0 PHY PORT * ALL we get the physical port in
INTERNAL LOOPBACK. This note is an extension of note 1629. What causes this to 
happen unless done by an NCL command which I can't see in the NCL script
anywhere ?

	Can a hardware or a driver fault cause this on a DEFAA card.

	We believe the patch call AXPBOOT02 that was installed on this DEC7000 system to fix another VMS problem created the new problem where the Operating System did not re-enable the INT ENABLE bit on the Futurebus. We are going to try and undo the patch and see if that fixes our DEFAA problem. Alphonse
