5377.0. "Bridge alarm on ethernet address" by KERNEL::WARDJO () Thu Jul 22 1993 12:58

    Hello,
    
    A customer is using polycenter 400 V2.3 on VMS V5.5 and has created an
    alarm rule to check for change in spanning tree.
    
    The rule is as follows:-
    
    CREATE DOMAIN .wa.domain.spanning_tree RULE
    TEST_WAN_SPANNING_TREE_CHANGE -
    
    EXPRESSION  = (BRIDGE .wa.bridge.s_s2cfc_ex LINE 1 DESIGNATED BRIDGE ID
    -
    <> 08-00-2b-20-4e-50, AT EVERY 00:20:00) ,-
    CATEGORY    = "WAN bridge problem" ,-
    SEVERITY    = MAJOR,-
    DESCRIPTION = "This is a test "
    
    What he has found is that what he puts in the last 4 figures of the
    ethernet address make no difference what so ever.
    
    I havent managed to reproduce it but wondered if anyone else had seen
    anything similar?
    
    Regards,

5377.1Comparison field length -max value?KERNEL::WARDJOMon Aug 09 1993 13:0610
    
    Well, I've now managed to reproduce this problem.
    
    Does anyone know if a comparison rule has a maximum field length that
    it can compare against?
    
    Regards,
