2386.0. "ieee802 only and reachable alarm?" by MCDONL::BUCKLEY (ski fast,take chances,die young) Thu Feb 20 1992 19:30

Is there an easy way to set up an alarm for an ieee802-only ethernet station to
show if the node is up or down? (happens to be an IBM as400). How about
trapping the loss of connectability?

2386.1	RESPONDING ADDRESS should be a good way, but...	CUJO::HILL	Dan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer Resident	`Tue Feb 25 1992 01:37`	12
	I tried using the RESPONDING ADDRESS in V1.1, but got a message indicating that the variable type was not supported. This would actually be a very good way to check if the controller responded. Syntax would be something like this: EXPRESSION = (STATION .as400 RESPONDING ADDRESS <> 08-00-xx-xx-xx-xx) This is just a suggestion to point you in the right direction. I have not tried it. -Dan

	Support in Alarms FM for ID802 has been coded and should be tested shortly (the LAN BU needed this support for FDDI-related Alarms against Upstream Neighbor Address)... Chris
