106.0. "question - directory command" by DSTEG::HUGHES () Thu Apr 26 1990 14:38

Can someone explain the following error message? Is the invalid entity
structure referring to the bridge id (ethernet address) or is there
something wrong with the entity itself or the data stored for the entity?


dir bridge 08-00-2b-04-26-a1 
BRIDGE 08-00-2B-04-26-A1 
AT 26-APR-1990 10:20:03

    My guess is that you are doing a "directory bridge", if so there
    were known problems in this space since the bridge didn't support
    a DNS primary identifier, and it didn't support create and register.
    But...I will make sure that I get Chris and/or Kathy Jo to verify
    this.
    
    The error is being returned as an exception to the request and does
    not mean that the bridge address doesn't exist.
    
    
106.2Not supported (yet)CHRISB::BRIENENChristopher J. BrienenMon Apr 30 1990 15:2815
    I believe that the reason you're getting this message in response
    to a DIRECTORY BRIDGE <address> command is that the MCC-Config FM
    does not (at least didn't for EFT) support specifying an address
    as the bridge instance (it's looking for FullName).
    
    In other words, this should work:
    
    	DIR BRIDGE fred_flintstone
    
    This will not
    
    	DIR BRIDGE 08-00-2b-04-26-a1
    
    The directory command *should* support <address> for EFT Update
    (if it doesn't already)...
