5049.0. "v1.3 w/FDDI stack dumps if you forget via port" by BRAT::BUKOWSKI () Wed May 12 1993 19:30

	I have MCC 1.3 running on a 6420 with VMS v5.5-2 and a DEMFA type
	FDDI controller.  When I forget to add the "via port fxa0:" qualifier
	to look at my entities, MCC stack dumps.  Can some body fix this
	please.  In the mean time I am setting via port as a default in my
	init files.

	Thanks,
	Mike

5049.1Check for QARsTOOK::MINTZErik Pavlik MintzWed May 12 1993 20:102
I believe that this is a known limitation.  You might want to check
the QAR system for prior reports (see note 7).
5049.2bug not limitation.BRAT::BUKOWSKIThu May 13 1993 14:357
    RE:-1  I just look through all the QAR titles and non of them have
           anything to do with this.  Also, it would be ludicrous to
           knowningly allow this to happen.  I am convinced that it is
    	   a big bug.

5049.3Did you have privs enabled ?2582::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - Network Management ApplicationsThu May 13 1993 14:535
  There *IS* a known bug in the Ethernet Service routines which the Bridge
  Access Module uses ... if you do not have privs enabled (sorry can't
  remember which one, you'll have to try them all) you'll get an ACCVIO.

5049.4Slightly different problem...MOLAR::MOLAR::BRIENENNetwork Management Applications!Thu May 13 1993 18:056
Mike has full privileges.

The problem is that his workstation has NO Ethernet connection, just
an FDDI port.

5049.5yes I have full privsBRAT::BUKOWSKIFri May 14 1993 10:025
    Yes, I do have full privs and no Ethernet NI, just a DEMFA.  BTW:
    I have logged QAR # 240 for this.

5049.6More info. pleaseQUIVER::HAROKOPUSMon May 17 1993 18:2412
        Hi Mike,
    
        This is either a Bridge AM bug or a bug in the MCC EA routines.
        Can you help us to narrow this down by doing:
    
        mcc>sho station <mac addr> all char
    
    	on any ethernet station on your LAN to see if it ACC-VIOs.
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	Bob

    Hi,
    	Sorry I didn't respond earlier.  I have been busy playing with my
    	gigaswitch.
    
    	I tried what you have said.  It looks like a problem with the
    	BRIDGE and CONCENTRATOR AM's.   Here are some AM's that do work
    	properly without "via port fxa0:"

    	node4
    	station
    	snmp
    
    	Mike
    
    	BTW: did I mention that I am using the ELM am?
