| 9768.2 | Token ring with what software? | NNTPD::"[email protected]" | mark | Mon May 12 1997 11:45 | 15 |
| I assume you are driving this token ring card with some sort of LLC2 link
set up with NCL ?
If yes then its a simple matter to :-
ncl set token ring station TRN-0 ring station address 02-00-04-48-0E-80
Note that the address has to be re written, reverse the nibbles and
then the bits in each nibble. ie 40 -> 02 00 -> 00 20 -> 04 12 -> 48
70 -> 0E 01 -> 80
otherwise look up the ioctl(...,SIOCSPHYSADDR,...)
Cheers
Mark :)

| Mark,
I could not find an NCL command to set the ring station address.
Is this a valid option in NCL ? Do I have an old release of NCL ?
Is it undocumented in the NCL HELP facility ?

Thanks,

| Hi,
From DECnet/OSI conference...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1625.8 Set Token Ring Local Station Address? 8 of 8
SEPPLT::MARK "Mark Garrett" 10 lines 19-DEC-1996 23:21
-< thats the problem >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bug in setting the token ring station address is fixed in DECNET_OSI
however the dna_ components that are installed by the peer server
are old, out of date and wont allow the station address to be set.
Solution. Install the decnet components from a 3.2A or greater
decnet kit rather than from the peer server kits. Even copying the single
dna_dli.o file from the DECnet release will be sufficent.
Cheers

| 9768.6 | I think the problem is a little deeper than that! | SEPPLT::MARK | Mark Garrett | Tue May 13 1997 00:11 | 21 |
| Interesting to be cross posted with the response originally from myself like
echos in the dark.
Anyway: I initialy read your reply interpreting that you
did not have ncl.
*********************************************************************
* What are you running on this token ring?? IP or SNA what? *
*********************************************************************
My echo from the OSI conference describe a problem where the
set failed but I think was still valid syntax. I'm quite in the dark
as to what you have setup wise at your end.
What happens when you ncl show token ring
ncl "show token ring station * all"
If you only have TCP/IP configured and no DECnet/OSI,SNA,X25 then all
of this ncl stuff is quite useless to you.
Please say what your running protocol and software wise?
Cheers
Mark :)

| Mark,
Thanks for the mail. I was about to send an update to the customer.
The customer is running Peer Server 1.3xx using token ring as the transport.
It is true that if you install the full Peer Server kit you will install
DNADLI 321. I am not sure what version the customer is running.
The test machine I am using has DNADLI 321. There is no "set token
ring ..." option in ncl for the version I have. I can do a
"ncl < show token ring station * all" and get valid output.
From setld -i
--------------------------------------------
--
DNABASE320 installed DECnet/OSI Base Components (DECnet/OSI Standard
Run-time Environment)
DNADLI321 installed DECnet/OSI Datalink Components (DECnet/OSI Stand
ard Run-time Environment)
DNANETMAN321 installed DECnet/OSI Network Management (DECnet/OSI Standa
rd Run-time Environment)
From NCL

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was going to upgrade the test machine I am using to DecNet OSI 3.2B and then
test the "set token ring ..." option in ncl.
Will this allow us to use the "set token ring ..." command ?
If you need any other information let me know.
