5719.0. "FDDI Ring Autotopology fails" by BERN02::FUCHS (FRED FUCHS) Fri Nov 05 1993 05:51

    Hi,
    
    I have the following Problem.
    
    I want to use the LAN Autotopoloy Application to autoregister and map
    the FDDI Ring. I choose Automap and Autoregister and I provide an SMT
    Gateway Address 08-00-2B-2A-4F-C7. This address belongs to a 
    DECBridge 610. It starts an it looks fine but it tells me in a new
    window entities found in map file, but mot in domain. 
    
    
    So i decided to register one of the DECBridge manualy but this failed
    with the following error message.
    
    mcc>regi fddi-station .grd.bern.net.lb610test address = 08-00-2B-2A-4F-C7
    
    
    FDDI-Station EMD:.grd.bern.net.lb610test
    AT  5-NOV-1993 11:49:08
    
    The requested operation cannot be completed
                 MCC Routine Error = %MCC-W-ENTUNKNOWN, unknown entity: !AD
    
    
    Any help or hints would be welcome
    
    
    Regards Fred

	Fred, you cannot register the SMT gateway itself as an FDDI station. This restriction is documented somewhere (don't remember if docs or release notes). But since it talks RBMS anyway, this is not a big restriction. Just register it as class Bridge. *Robert
5719.2	Use FDDI MAC to reg. DECbridge	QUIVER::HAROKOPUS		`Wed Nov 10 1993 17:07`	7
	Actually, you should be able to register the DECbridge as an FDDI-station. You will need to use the MAC address of the FDDI line on the bridge (port 1). Regards, Bob
