1960.0. "FDDI configuration display ...." by PADNOM::PEYRACHE (Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France) Thu Feb 02 1995 13:33

  hello,

  with this following configuration 2 Decconcentrators900MX connected to
  the Backplane and FDDI ring by front panel ports (1,6) 

              DECHUB900
              BACKPLANE
              
              A=====B
              9     9
              0     0
              0     0
              M     M
              X     X
              B     A
             FRONT PANEL
              |      |
               fddi 
               ring


   if my customer starts Hubwatch using IP address on HUB manager all works
   and displays as expected, but if he starts using an IP address of            
    DECConcentrators itself, the displays of Port informations is correct
   (1 in Backplane and/or 6 in Fron Panel),but the Configuration window
    display is False:

   all ports appears in Front panel and as Stump Primary.

   i think Hubwatch are looking at a 900MX with Docking Station hooked into,
   (Docking Station Without A/B port)

  why these difference between port information and Configuration ??
  it's a normal behavior or not ??

  thanks for any comments

    Hello Jean-Yves,

    	I have verified the problem that you described in -.1 and have
    turned in a QAR to the ONEHUB qar database. I have been told, that they
    know about this problem and a fix will be coming in a future release.
