2733.0. "Show node4 * vs show node4 nodename?" by ODIXIE::PEACOCKR () Thu Apr 09 1992 19:20

    Can someone explain this to me:
    
    If I do:
    
    MCC>show node4 *     
    
    I get:
    
    Node4 DSP_NS:.DNA_NODE.SOUL
    AT  9-APR-1992 15:14:52 Identifiers
    
    Node not currently accessible.
    
    
    But if I do: 
    
    MCC> show node4 soul all status
    
    I get:
    
    Node4 1.3
    AT  9-APR-1992 15:16:07 Status
    
    Examination of Attributes shows:
                                      State = On
                           Physical Address = AA-00-04-00-03-04
                               Active Links = 2
                                      Delay = 1
    
    
    What is the difference?  The reason I ask is because I'm trying to pin
    down why alarm rules to test reachability show exceptions. 
    Node Soul changed it's address from 2.3 to 1.3 and is (and was)a router and
    the MCC system went from being a router to end node.  The same rules
    worked before. 
    
    I'm sure it must be a DECnet problem, but I'm having trouble relating
    the two products to see exactly what I should be looking for.
    
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2733.1Check your local node database against what is registeredTOOK::GUERTINMenagerie Control CenterFri Apr 10 1992 14:117
    I had a similar problem.  It turns out that the node name (or address?)
    in my local node database differed from the node name(/address) that
    was registered.  I believe that a wildcard use the node name/address
    that was registered, but specifying the node name exactly may (I'm not
    sure) just go to the local node database.
