A customer has a problem displaying a ring map under ELMS. Apparently, the
DEC equipment shows up correctly. However, his cisco equipment does not
and ELMS returns some error message. (I asked what the error message
was but he could not tell me at the moment.)
Earlier notes in this conference suggest that ELMS is obsolete. If so,
this may be the root of his problem. If not, there may be more to this.
Suggestions are welcome.
Assuming that ELMS is obsolete, is there a way to display a ring map
under DECmcc ELM? If so, what is the command? Is it as complete as the
ELMS map?

Yes, the DECmcc ELM FM V1.2 package includes the FDDI Ring Map FM.
This application requires a Digital SMT gateway (DECbridge 5xx,
DECbridge 6xx, or DECconcentrator 500) to the ring, but it will map all
FDDI stations on the ring. Check the NOTED::MCC conference, in note 3
for the location of kits, for more details. [Press KP7 or the Select
key to add it to your notebook.]
This software is available from the SSB for customers.

The ring map in ELMS should work, though. There are a number of FDDI vendors that send invalid response messages to map requests. The mapper will try to do the best it can, but often it cannot produce a good map if it gets garbage responses. I don't remember problems with cisco, but it certainly is possible that they would be a source of trouble. A look at the message would be very helpful. paul | |||||
