I tried registering an ethernet station,(a SIEMENS workstation). It
registered ok.
Show of the identifier, status and characteristic is ok.
A show of the counters does NOT output any information. It returns
nothing and there is not error.
The char shows it is IEEE802_only.
Any idea what the problem is or what can cause it to behave this way.

Hi Raj,
The counter attributes returned for a station varies depending on the
value of the 'functions supported' characteristic. Ethernet AM counter
attributes are only returned for stations which have a functions
supported value of DEC_ENETV2 or DEC_IEEE802 (since these are stations
which support MOP protocol -- where the counter information comes
from). An empty attribute list is returned for stations which have a
functions supported value of ENETV2_ONLY or IEEE802_ONLY.
Since you registered your workstation as an IEEE802_ONLY station, the
Ethernet AM is behaving correctly.
