| RE: %MCC-E-ILVTNF error when trying to access a bridge
Could you drop a reply into this note with answers to the following
questions (I would greatly help us RE this problem):
1. Please issue the command "SHOW BRIDGE vit_algo HARDWARE TYPE"
and tell us what type of bridge (are we talking TRANSLAN?).
2. Does this problem ever occur with either of the following:
a) SHOW BRIDGE vit_algo LINE 1 ALL CHAR ?
b) SHOW BRIDGE vit_algo LINE * ALL CHAR ?
(yes, I do mean ALL CHAR above, and not ALL SPANN CHAR)
3. Does the problem ever occur with the LINE specified explicitly
(e.g. SHOW BRIDGE vit_algo LINE 1 ALL SPANN CHAR) ?
If so, does it occur with a specific line (e.g. a DISABLED line,
a non-ethernet line) or with different ones randomly?
If you can isolate a failing line, please issue the command
SHOW BRIDGE vit_algo LINE <failing-line> ALL ATTRIBUTES and
post the results as a reply to this note.
I suspect that the source of this problem may be the way Attribute
Groups are being handled by the FCL PM (i.e. FCL *may* be requiring
all attributes associated with a GROUP to be returned in a PARTITION
and failing on a missing attribute), but providing the information
above will help isolate it.
Thank in advance for any assistance!

| Chris,
Thanks a lot for your detailed answer.
Since I rebooted I don't experience this problem again !
If problem comes back I shall follow strictly the procedure
you suggest.
Anyhow I can partially answer to your questions :
>>>> 1. Please issue the command "SHOW BRIDGE vit_algo HARDWARE TYPE"
>>>> and tell us what type of bridge (are we talking TRANSLAN?).
RE: Vit_algo is a vitalink Translan III .
But I tried this command on LB100s and got same results.
More precisely from the moment I got this message for one
specific bridge I got it for any of my bridges.
{ LB100s and TRanslan III }.
DEREGISTERing them and reREGISTERing them again fixed
problem.

RE: Sorry I didn't try this command !

RE: YES ! and I got problem.
I tested SHOW BRIDGE COMMS
then SHOW BRIDGE COMMS ALL REF
then SHOW BRIDGE COMMS ALL STATUS
then SHOW BRIDGE COMMS ALL CHAR
then SHOW BRIDGE COMMS LINE * ALL CHAR
then SHOW BRIDGE COMMS LINE * ALL STATUS
then SHOW BRIDGE COMMS LINE * ALL SPANNING CHAR
And I got "the problem".
{ COMMS is a LB100 }.

Chris,
As an FYI. The PM does not require all attributes in a group be
returned. Instead it looks for them and if not present, simply
continues on with the next expected attribute. The behavior you
were wondering about, a group returning an TNF, was reported an
corrected in baselevel X0.09.

| RE: Jill (Note 174.3 by GOSTE::CALLANDER)
Thanks for the update (guess my "speculation" was incorrect).
RE: .2
Rebooting removed the problem? That's *wierd*...

| 174.5 | Did you flush namespace for EFTupdate? | TOOK::STRUTT | Colin Strutt | Thu Jul 12 1990 22:36 | 8 |
| This is a wild guess, but you reported that the problem went away when
you deregistered and then (re) registered the bridge.
Did you "clean out" the name space when you put up the EFTupdate
version, as recommended in the Release Notes? The namespace set up by
versions prior to FTupdate are not compatible with those now used.
