Hello there, I'm testing the FDDI technology on SUN severs using the SUN FDDI board with a VME interface. I have problems with SMT layer of these servers ans I can't figure out whether. I did something wrong or the SUN's implementation is bugged. Has anybody already met such problems and knows the solution ? I would be grateful for any help. The following ones : 1 : No answer to a SMT ECHO NIF type frame is received when such a frame is sent on the network. 2 : Some thing with REQUEST type frames. 3 : When you cut the power for a bypass on a server, a beacon process is sent on the B ring and then (at physical level) ring A and ring B are at state "active" alternatively. 4 : No checking of the values of T_req, T_max and T_min is made when these values are modified with the fddi_eeprom command. 5 : The ring_map command is never ending (probably because of the lack of answers to "request" frames). Thank you in advance for any comment. Please, use the mail for to response. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAZIN Sylvain | Service Technique Naviguation Aerienne | tel : 33 1 60 79 80 48 | 95 rue Henri Rochefort | fax : 33 1 60 79 80 01 | 91025 EVRY CEDEX FRANCE | bazin@stna7.stna.dgac.fr | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
