1555.0. "DEMSA as routers" by VF::LANGASQUE () Thu Sep 26 1991 14:46

	Hello, 

 I've registered all the Phase IV & Phase V nodes from the lab into DECMCC.
 Routing is exclusively done by DEMSAs. I've registered them as Node5.
 When I try to define an alarm, for example concerning area or node 
 reachability, I need to use as entity a router -> DEMSA -> node (and node node4),
 which seems to be an invalid attribute expression .

 ex: (occurs (node xxxxx remote node * node reachability change))
     or (node xxxxx area x state = unreachable).

	Both rule give the same error:
  Valid expression was not found in alarm expression

 I've tried the same rules with a "node4 yyyyyy" expression eveything is ok,
except that it's not what I need.

	Any idea?
		Thanks,		Eric

(Are you using the WANrouter sw on the DEMSAs?)

If you look at help entity for DECnet_OSI Node (vs. Phase_IV_DECnet Node4), 
you'll find that DECnet-OSI does not use the same sub-entities.  You probably 
want to look at Node Routing sub-entities, but understand that Phase V will not
necessarily have the same events available and you may have to jump through
some hoops to get the same behavior as your Phase IV command.
