6043.0. "help with demfa" by MSBCS::HURLEY () Thu Jul 07 1994 15:24

    I'm runing DECmcc (v1.3.0) on a 6000 running VAX/VMS V5.5-2  and we
    just upgrade the ethernet controller and installed a DEMFA. (fiber
    board) I cant seem to find what I need to change in mcc to have it
    work again. We were on an mna-0 and we are now on mfa-0. Anything I 
    try doing on mcc now I ge4 the following dump

6043.1Unsupported configurationBIKINI::KRAUSECSC Network Management/HubsFri Jul 08 1994 06:049
You could try 
	MCC> show bridge b1r8b6a all att, via port fxa0:

Do other entity classes work, e.g. node4 ?

Officially you're out of luck; MCC is NOT supported over FDDI 
controllers!

6043.2Why not use both?NPSS::WADENetwork Systems SupportFri Jul 08 1994 10:1313
    And, if it is as I remember, several FMs do not support the via port 
    qualifier.  Specifically you cannot create alarm rules that include
    this qualifier.
         
    Unless you really need the DEMFA for DECmcc purposes a suggestion is to
    run with both the Ethernet and FDDI controller. Run DECnet, LAT, etc
    over FDDI and let DECmcc use Ethernet. The only potential gotcha is mcc has 
    to see the Ethernet first in its list.
