5385.0. "MCC_EVL_SINK and DECnis not talking" by SNOC01::MISNETWORK (MCC=My Constant Confusion) Mon Jul 26 1993 03:45

    I am having problems getting MCC to receive events from DECnis. Running
    DECmcc V1.3 on VMS V5.5-1 (DECnet address 5.505) with extensions (Wave I).
    
    I have no problem getting events to pop up in the operator log, 
    but have been unsucessful in getting the MCC outbound stream into an 
    "ON CONNECTED" state. Below is the DECnis outbound stream for the 
    operator log -
    
    %DNS-E-INVALIDNAME, Invalid name
     Sink Object =
    %DNS-E-INVALIDNAME, Invalid name
     Sink Node =
     Sink End User = Number = 82
     Sink Address = {{{%X0113}, {DNA$ProtID$SessCtlV2 Number = 82},
    {DNA$ProtID$NSP}
    , {DNA$ProtID$RoutingV3 49::00-05:AA-00-04-00-F9-15:20}}}
     
    			and then the one for the DECmcc -
    
    %DNS-E-INVALIDNAME, Invalid name
     Sink Object =
    %DNS-E-INVALIDNAME, Invalid name
     Sink Node =
     Sink End User = Name = MCC_EVL_SINK
     Sink Address = {{{%X0113}, {DNA$ProtID$SessCtlV2 Name = MCC_EVL_SINK},
    {DNA$ProtID$NSP},
    {DNA$ProtID$RoutingV3 49::00-04:AA-00-04-00-F9-15:20}}}
        
    The MCC_EVL_SINK process is up and running, the operator log is full of
    events from the DECnis, the filtering on the DECnis is setup the same
    for both outbound streams. Any ideas ?? I checked all the info in the
    release notes, but wasn't sure with regards to the need for a proper
    NET$ identifier!! Is this documented anywhere, what is this on about?
    
    Cheers,

	Use %X0152 instead of %X0113 in the sink address

5385.2%x0152 doesn't workSNOC01::MISNETWORKMCC=My Constant ConfusionTue Jul 27 1993 23:426
    Tried %x0152 in the sink address, but still no go. The stream goes as
    far as "ON CONNECTING" but never connects, on the MCC host, I never see
    the link try and come up. Any more ideas ??

5385.3Typo in NSAPMARVIN::COBBGraham R. Cobb, Internetworking, REO2-G/G9, 830-3917Fri Jul 30 1993 07:2611
Re: .1.  Although using %X0152 is correct (and %X0113 is technically wrong),
that value is ignored.

Re: .0.   The  NSAP  is  wrong.   Carefully  compare  the  NSAPs for the two
outbound streams given in .0!

The destination  node  from the ID portion of the NSAP (which is the same in
both  cases)  is 5.505.  SO, the local area must be 00-05.  It is correct in
the one which is working but wrong in the one which isn't working.

    Somebody shoot me. We changed the DECnet address on this DECmcc
    workstation, and I thought I was extra careful in making sure any
    hardcoded addresses were changed, but somehow I missed this NSAP, even
    though I changed the other outbound stream. Thanks for your response.
