Has anyone noticed the following difference between ELMS and
MCC Bridge AM. Note the 'Device Broken Reason' in both cases.
$elms show ar3_ar1
Device Status as of 10-OCT-1991 16:52:37
Name AR3_AR1, Address 08-00-2B-26-AD-45
Device State: OPERATE
Current Forwarding Database Entries: 913
Current Non-volatile Forwarding Database Entries: 0
Current Protocol Database Entries: 0
Current Non-volatile Protocol Database Entries: 0
Management Request Heard Port: 2
LAN Bridge 100 Being Polled: 08-00-2B-06-D9-B6
Spanning Tree Mode: LAN Bridge 100
Inactive Forwarding Database Entries: 438
Time Since Forwarding Database Purged: 7304
Device Broken Reason: Selftest failure
NVRAM Failed Flag: False
Time Since Last Hello Sent: 0
Device Configuration: N/A
$
$Mana/Enter show Bridge ar3_ar1 all status
BRIDGE UKHUB_NS:.ar3_ar1
AT 10-OCT-1991 17:05:59 Status
Examination of attributes shows:
NVRAM Failed Flag = False
Bridge Function = Bridge
Management Heard Port = 2
Device State = Operating
Best Root Priority = 70
Best Root = 08-00-2B-06-D9-B6
Best Root Age = 1 Seconds
My Cost = 10
Root Port = 2
Time Since Last Hello Sent = 0 Seconds
Topology Change Flag = False
Topology Change Notification Flag = False
Topology Change Timer = 0 Seconds
Actual Hello Interval = 1 Seconds
Actual Forward Delay = 30 Seconds
Actual Listen Time = 15 Seconds
Spanning Tree Mode = LAN Bridge 100 Mode
LANBridge 100 Being Polled = 08-00-2B-06-D9-B6
Loaded Tasks = 0
Device Broken Reason = None
Which one is correct?

Bridge AM and DECelms interpret the attribute differently:
- DECelms shows what the Device Broken Reason was the last time that
a failure occurred.
- Bridge AM shows what Device Broken Reason is (i.e. the bridge state
is "Operating", not "Broken", so Device Broken Reason doesn't
apply), not what it "was".

So DECelms is saying the bridge has had a problem sometime in the past (possibly before the last reboot) while Bridge Am is saying that because the bridge is operating, there is no need to examine the 'device broken reason' field. I assume that a reset to factory setting should clear the message. regards, Ian | |||||
