6023.0. "NODE4 FDDI Line Counters" by CUJO::BROWN (Dave Brown) Thu Jun 16 1994 17:17

    
    	I have the need to look at the FDDI-specific line counters with MCC
    on a NODE4 entity (VAX running VMS). Curently, MCC can only see the 
    traditional Ethernet line counters of the FDDI line (MFA-0) but not the
    FDDI extended counters (example - Ring Purge Errors). The SNMP MIP
    appears to have no capability in this area.
    
    	Is there a new NODE4 MIB available (or other means) that would give 
    the capability of looking at the FDDI line counter extensions?
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	Dave

6023.1	5942.*?	CUJO::BROWN	Dave Brown	`Thu Jun 16 1994 17:25`	12
	I see that there was a question exactly like mine (5942.*) asked on 8-APR-94 with no responses yet. It's good I'm not the only one reporting this problem; its bad that there has been no input. If anyone has any insight/information on this issue, please respond. Thanks, Dave
6023.2	Please fill a CLD.	TAEC::FLAUW	Marc Flauw, CEM Technical Office, VBO	`Mon Jun 20 1994 05:50`	14
	re: .0 The DECnet Phase IV AM is not dictionary-driven, so adding support for new things like FDDI counters is not just compiling a MIB or loading an MSL, as it can be done with SNMP AM or DECnet Phase V AM. A change of the Phase IV AM requires a change inthe MSL and in the AM code. I would strongly suggest, if not already done, that you fill a CLD for this problem. It is the guarantee that it will be followed. Best regards, Marc.
6023.3	Is there now a CLD for it?	MUNICH::FERSTL		`Mon Aug 22 1994 12:30`	6
	Has there a CLD/IPMT been opened for this problem? If Yes, does anyone know the status of it? Birgit Ferstl / Digital Service Center Munich
6023.4	Need a customer.	SCCA::Dave	You think I know something about Netview?	`Mon Aug 22 1994 19:14`	4
	As there is no information, like a customer name, I cannot tell if there is a CLD for this problem.
6023.5	NODE4 FDDI Line Counters	VF::LANGASQUE		`Fri Aug 26 1994 09:31`	9
	Hi, Yes, there is already a CLD logged on this problem. (CFS.15462), but there is actually no date to fix it. Next PNM kit should be available beginning of october, so ... Regards, Eric
6023.6	Running it on a 11/780 ????	SCCA::Dave	You think I know something about Netview?	`Fri Aug 26 1994 16:08`	11
	My database says 15462 (SD Labs, Englewood, CO) is solved, awaiting a reply from the field. The last entry was made by someone named IPMT$GCM_US1 (might this be Jim Gay), on 6/28. and they seem to own placing an update in the CLD. and either accepting or rejecting the solution. Untill then, Engineering would not be looking at it, because it is marked as "Solved" From reading the CLD, the DEC person also stated that they are running MCC on a 11/780... Boy, that must be real slow....
