1. I'm having problem registering an ethernet station with the following
commands:
Register station st1 address .... alter address ...
func sup = dec_enetv2
or func sup = enetv2
error message was:
MCC Routine Error %MCC-E-INV_ENTITY, invalid entity structure
I've tried registering a vaxstation 3100, a bridge and a decserver,
using both FCL and DECW PMs and received the same error.
All three devices were up and running. The workstation used was not
the DECMCC host. After that I tried to register the VS3100 as a node4
entity and the bridge as a bridge entity and there were no problem.
command
SHOW MCC 0 ETHERNET_AM ALL STATUS
indicated the module was installed.
Version of BMS is IFT 1.1
2. For a node, such as a VAX3100 connected to an ethernet, it is
both an ethernet station as well as a node4 entity - how do I
apply the ethernet AM and the decnet IV AM to the same node? -
registering it as a station and as a node4 will produce two entities
and thus two icons on the map? (wasn't able to test this out
as I wasn't able to register an ethernet station so far?)
same applies to the bridge.
Thanks for the help, Lillian

1. RE: REGISTER STATION problem: Some questions: When you issue the SHOW MCC 0 ETHERNET ALL CHAR, what is the version number returned. Is it "T1.1.0" ? Does the command SHOW STATION <AA-00-04-00-xx-xx address> ALL CHAR work with the MCC you're running? 2. RE: two entities Node4, Bridge, and Station are all global entities. Thus, each will have an icon (and a different FullName). | |||||

1.
version of MCC is X.1.1.0
SHOW STATION 08-00-2b-03-df-82 works with following output:
STATION 08-00-2B-0E-DF-82
Characteristics
AT 13-DEC-1990 09:45:13
Examination of attributes shows:
Functions Supported = DEC_ENETV2
Maintenance Version = V3.0.0
Implementation = DECserver 500/DSRVS CSMA/CD comm link
Reservation Timer = 10 Seconds
Console Command Size = 86
Console Response Size = 250
Console User = 00-00-00-00-00-00
Data Link Buffer Size = 1518
REGISTER ds550 address ... func sup = dec_enetv2
produced message as re .1
2. Even though ethernet and node 4 are two separate entities, it is the
same system to the users. There should be no problem with the FCL
interface, but with DECwindows, it may be quite confusing, unless
user divide the domains by technology - e.g. by ethernet stations, and
by DECNET nodes.
thanks for the help.
