2229.0. "Phy state, Link state and Ring purger state" by KERNEL::FREKES (Like a thief in the night) Mon Feb 24 1997 11:39

Folks

    Can anybody tell me what the following mean. And is there anywhere I can 
    look where these are documented? They are a result of SDA> sho lan/full 
    and are apart of the FDDI characteristics

Phy state               128
Link state                4
Ring purger state         3

The card is a DEMFA in a VAX running OpenVMS V6.2

Thanks for any input.

Phy state               128 = ?
Link state                4 = ON_RING_RUN (0=OFF_INIT,1=OFF_READY,2=OFF_FAULT_REC,
			      3=ON_RING_INIT,5=BROKEN)
Ring purger state         3 = PURGER (0=OFF,1=CAND_PURGER,2=NON_PURGER)

    Thanks for the info Dick. Can Anybody else shed light on the Phy state
    values?

As far as the phy state is concerned, there was a bug in FXDRIVER
that destroyed the state.  It was fixed in V7.1.  It is also
displayed correctly on Alpha (V7.0 and later and probably V6.2).

    Ref .2  Hi Steve !
    
    This is what I have. The Phy State is a bit map as follows, 128 = in
    use.
    
    	Phy State	     Bit n set		Value
    	---------	     ---------		-----
        CNS_E_PHY_OFF_MAINT 	0,		0
        CNS_E_PHY_BROKEN	1,
        CNS_E_PHY_OFF_READY	2,
        CNS_E_PHY_WAIT		3,    
        CNS_E_PHY_STARTING	4,
        CNS_E_PHY_FAILED	5,
        CNS_E_PHY_WATCH		6,
