3157.0. "Gigaswitch FDDI --- Using "find" IP Address" by NCMAIL::SCHEID () Sun Jan 14 1996 21:08

    
    a customer of mine was using the Bridge forwarding database feature on
    a Gigaswitch FDDI. The customer was using the "find" IP address
    functionality. All addresses that the customer entered were coming 
    back as learned line card # Port 0. The line Card is correct ... but
    why is the port always zero. Many of the IP addresses check were
    enduser Sun or Alpha workstations directly� attached to Gigaswitch 
    FDDI 2 Port Line Cards. It was my understanding that the information 
    returned should be "card # 2 Port 4 Learned". It is not possible that 
    these addresses are "aged" as they are file servers that are beat on
    24hr/7 days/week. 
    
    
    
    Any thoughts

    Charlie,
    
    	What platform and version of HUBwatch is the customer running. I
        just tried this on HUBwatch V4.1 on Digital Unix and it worked.
        Both slot and port were reported properly. Also, what was the
        status reported for the address (ie learned).
