| 2062.1 | Could you supply some log for further info? | TOOK::TAN | Ed Tan | Fri Jan 10 1992 11:19 | 73 |
| Hi,
When you do a show references from the Map, the Iconic Map PM will
call Config FM (REGISTRATION FM in V1.2) SHOW REFERENCE attribute entry
point for the reference attributes and then a call to Config FM
GETVARSELECTOR entry point to get the Variant Information. In the case
of STATION the variant selector is the attribute Functions Supported
(id code 1 and datatype is an enumeration
TYPE
FunctionSupportType = 1050 (
ENETV2_Only = 1,
IEEE802_Only = 2,
DEC_ENETV2 = 3,
DEC_IEEE802 = 4
);
)
Would you please post the log of the following in here:
1) Log of your REGISTER command to register the PC as a station
REGISTER STATION <station-name> ADDRESS xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx,
FUNCTION SUPPORTED = <function>,
ALTERNATE ADDRESS = yy-yy-yy-yy-yy-yy
Use the ALTERNATE ADDRESS (DECnet physical address) if the
station is running DECnet Phase IV.
2) Log of a DIRECTORY STATION on this PC station using first the
fullname and then the address
DIRECTORY STATION <station-name>
DIRECTORY STATION xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
3) Log of a SHOW STATION for the FUNCTION SUPPORTED attribute
SHOW STATION <station-name> FUNCTION SUPPORTED
SHOW STATION xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx FUNCTION SUPPORTED (if not
running DECnet IV)
or
SHOW STATION yy-yy-yy-yy-yy-yy FUNCTION SUPPORTED (if running
DECnet IV)
4) Log of GETVARSELECTOR STATION call. (The GETVARSELECTOR directive
in V1.1 is not documented but works from FCL, but in V1.2 it will
not work from FCL anymore)
GETVARSELECTOR STATION <station-name>
GETVARSELECTOR STATION xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx (if not running
DECnet IV)
or
GETVARSELECTOR STATION yy-yy-yy-yy-yy-yy (if running DECnet
IV)
You will get something like
Functions Supported = DEC_ENETV2

| Hello,
Irecieved the following information from my customer in
regards to the Problem at hand. We just upgraded to V1.2 and he
is going to try the same procedure in V1.2 when he has time.
Sorry for the delay, but V1.2 is keeping us very busy and this
problem is not at the top of the Customers priority list.

| 2062.4 | NS corruption + AltAddr misunderstanding? | CHRISB::BRIENEN | DECmcc Bridge|Station|SNMP Management. | Fri Jan 24 1992 11:28 | 42 |
| Following comments are in the context of DECmcc V1.1:
1) REGISTER STATION fullname1 ADDRESS=addr1, ALT ADDR=addr2
Note that in this command "fullname" and "addr1" are
Identifiers, while "addr2" is NOT (it's a Characteristic).
What this means is that the command:
DIR STATION fullname1 or DIR STATION addr1
Should return BOTH "fullname1" and "addr1", but not "addr2".
Furthermore, the command:
DIR STATION addr2
...should fail, since "addr2" is not an identifier (and not
stored in the NameSpace). Note also that the DIR command
never gets to the Entity (it's handled by the REGISTRATION FM,
which goes to DNS to get the identifiers).
2) Since DECmcc V1.1 did not implement "Partial Registration",
the REGISTER STATION command should either:
1. fail completely, not changing the namespace or
2. succeed, putting the Name and Address in the namespace
for the DIRECTORY command to access.
The commands given below indicate that the FullName is
there, but the Address is not (the DIR command should
always return BOTH identifiers). This sort of response
indicates (to me) that the namespace is corrupted.
3) The fact that the particular Station is not accessible via
"addr1" or "addr2" (i.e. "cannot communicate with target")
on a SHOW command has nothing to do with the DIR command
(see above).
4) It is implied that the REGISTER and SET commands actually
succeeded. Does the following command work:
SHOW STATION fullname ALL REFERENCE
Did the REGISTER command actually succeed when it was issued?
