2043.0. "FCI, ring purge, dup token errors?" by CSC32::J_SOBECKI (John Sobecki, DTN 592-4101, CXO3-2/D2) Wed May 15 1996 19:58

    Hello,
    
    Anyone know what causes the below FDDI errors?  I looked in the driver
    sources, and these errors are pulled directly off the controller, no
    comments in FXDRIVER telling what they mean (Dup tokens, Ring purge 
    errors, and FCI strip errors):
    
              -- FXA FDDI Counters Information 15-MAY-1996 16:46:33 --
    
    Transmit underrun                  0    Dup tokens detected             2
    Transmit failure                   0    Ring purge errors              14 
    Frame status error                 0    FCI strip errors               13   
    
    I recommended a FDDI analyzer to troubleshoot problems on the ring.
    
    The FXA controller is otherwise running error-free, and the above counters
    have not incremented over the past 8 hours.
    
    Thanks,
