A customer has some trouble with the fddi_config
to configure DEFPA-DA,
Similar problem has been reported in notes
7742 and 5568, but no solution was given.
The customer complains that some fddi_config commands which
worked previously now fail on UNIX 4.0. The behaviour varies
with the different OS version.
the following command fails with "fta0: invalid argument"
fddi_config -i fta0 -t9
fddi_config -i fta0 -x 1
on Alpha Station 200 4/166
SRM console V6.1-2
Pal code OSF PALcode X1.46-2
OSF1 V3.2 62 alpha
the example above they gave me, happened on an AS 200 4/166 with
V3 but it appears they have the same problem under V4.0
is this problem known ?
is there any patch ? or other solution ?
I posted this also in the FDDI notes.
Any idea is welcome,
thanks
Jean-Claude

Here is the answer from Julie of the Digital UNIX Network Drivers
thanks Julie,
I was also able to solve the problem by getting a more up to date
version of fddi_config.
As it turns out, a patch is available for V4.0. The problem
description (see below) may not be exactly what you described
but I advise trying this patch anyway.
EW PatchID: 166.00
PATCH ID: OSF400-166 SUBSET(s): OSFCLINET400
********************************************************************************
PROBLEM: ( HPAQ82D5D ) (Patch ID: OSF400-166)
********
This patch fixes a problem in which settting full duplex mode on DEFPA
using
"/usr/sbin/fddi_config -i fta0 -x1" will not enable full duplex mode.
FILE(s):
/usr/sbin/fddi_config subset OSFCLINET400
CHECKSUM: 33580 16 RCSfile: fddi_config.c RCS: 1.1.10.2

Thanks again, Julie
