6390.0. "DECONCENTRATOR 500/600 3.4A FIRMWARE" by CSC32::CULP () Tue Oct 17 1995 23:43

    Hi all,
    	I have a customer that is trying to produce a ring map in decmcc.
        When he trys to display downstream/upstream neighbours info on 
        500/600 concentrators it does not display any mac address..The
        screen displays "unknown"..Apparently the customer claims that
        when he displays upstream/downstream neighbours info for 900mx, 
        and hewlett packard concentrators decmcc displays correct mac
        addresses. Customer is running firmware version 3.4A on 500/600
        concentrators as well as 1.3.0 of decmcc..Is this a DECmcc 
        problem or a mib problem..Thank you for responding in advance!
    
    Regards,

	Definitively a mib problem. DECconcentrator 500 and DECbridge 6XX
	speak RFC 1285 ( old fddi mib ) and DECswitch/bridge/conc 900 speak
	RFC 1512 ( current fddi mib ). Tree and variable names have changed
	between the 2 versions, so if you try to request a new variable on
	an old agent, you get the <Unknown Entity> message.
	I guess you just need to compile the 2 versions of the mib on DECmcc
	and choose the right request, depending on the remote agent.

	Guy.
