6043.0. "help with demfa" by MSBCS::HURLEY () Thu Jul 07 1994 14:24

    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
    
    MCC> show bridge b1r8b6a all att
    %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=01, virtual

      Improperly handled condition, image exit forced.

6043.1	Unsupported configuration	BIKINI::KRAUSE	CSC Network Management/Hubs	`Fri Jul 08 1994 05:04`	9
	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! *Robert
6043.2	Why not use both?	NPSS::WADE	Network Systems Support	`Fri Jul 08 1994 09:13`	13
	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. Bill Bill
