3547.0. "ELM AM/FM needs ELMS?" by ANOSWS::COMFORT (Spent a little time on the hill) Wed Aug 12 1992 14:33

    
    
    Hi,
    
    A member of my customer community has just returned from MCC training
    and stated that it is necessary to run standalone ELMS to be able to
    utilize the ELM AM and FM.  Is this true?  This implies that the NIMUX
    process is necessary for communication. 
    
    Thanks,

No, the ELMS point product is not necessary to utilize the ELM AM and FM.

There is a listener process (part of ELM FM?) that discovers new
DECbridges. Perhaps he was referring to this?

    We should make sure that Ed Services is not distributing bad or
    questionable information.  IMHO!

RE: 3547.2

> Where can I read more about this listener process?

Information about the Listener (actually called the "STM Listener")
is found in the DECmcc AutoConfiguration and AutoTopology Use book.

The Bookreader version of the above document that I have (not sure whether
I have the final version) has a Chapter 5 with the following headings:

	5. Spanning Tree Maps
	 The Spanning Tree Principle
	 Spanning Tree Map Function Module Capabilities
	 Managing the Spanning Tree Map Function Module
	 How Spanning Tree Maps are Created
     --> Running the Bridge Listener in VMS
     --> Running the Bridge Listener in ULTRIX
	 Creating a Spanning Tree Map
	 Automatically Registering Bridges
	 ...etc...

Hope this helps.

    Dave,  

    Can you please find out where your customer went to get this training
    and reply back here ?

    I've dealt with customers/users who thought they could read MS-DOS or
    APPLE/POS floppies on their RT11 system.  And insisted that they had
    really done it once but it no longer works.
    
    It's amazing what passes through the grey-matter filters sometimes...
