2737.0. "DECbridge 620 Alarms" by DPDMAI::SHORROSH () Fri Apr 10 1992 10:16

    I have a customer that has installed an FDDI ring that looks sort of
    like this:
    
    |---------|--------------------|---------|
    |DECbridge|--------------------|DECbridge|
    |620      |      Fiber         |620      |
    -----------                    -----------
        | |                              | |
        | |                              | |
        | |                              | |
    |---------|--------------------|---------|
    |DECbridge|--------------------|DECbridge|
    |620      |                    |620      |
    -----------                    -----------
    
    I have an acceptance test plan to pass before the customer will sign
    off on the network that includes setting alarms on the bridges that will
    notify them that one or more of the fiber links has been broken.
    
    I have tested this and I know what attribute of the bridge changes when
    the link is broken.  With the links connected properly the PHY PORT
    STATE of both ports are in the "In Use" state when I do a show status
    on the ports.  With the link disconnected the PHY PORT STATE changes to
    "Waiting".
    
    My problem is that I can't find documentation that will tell me the
    name of this atrribute so I can set the alarm.
    
    I have looked in MCC_COMMON in the FDDI_MIBDEF.TXT and the
    DEC_MIBDEF.TXT files and the Bridge AM manual.  The only references I found
    were for LAN Bridge 100, 150 and 200.
    
    Can anyone tell me where to find the attribute definitions for the 600
    series bridges?  Or the name of this attribute as it is known to MCC?
    
    I am in a real time crunch and I appreciate help from anyone.  I will
    be onsite today and can't read any replys to this note, so if anyone
    can help me, please page me on my digital beeper at (405)791-9789.  I'll
    return your call immediately.  I already have a call logged to Colorado
    Springs.
    
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    This is probably too late, but...
    
    mcc> show bridge xxx phy port x all status
    
    	would give you the status attributes then you key your alarm off 
    	of the one that you want - 
    
	Create MCC 0 ALARMS RULE 620-physport  -
  	Description        = "physical port 2 for 620 is not in use", -
  	Expression         = (Bridge LOCAL_NS:.620-1 PHY Port 2  phy port state 
					<> In Use, at  every=00:01), -
  	Procedure          = SONOMA_SW:[MCC]MCC_ALARMS_MAIL_ALARM.COM;1, -
  	Exception Handler  = SONOMA_SW:[MCC]MCC_ALARMS_MAIL_EXCEPTION.COM;1, -
  	Parameter          = "wade", -
  	Queue              = "sys$batch", -
  	Perceived Severity = Critical, -
 	in domain = LOCAL_NS:.ltn_bridges
