3198.0. "Bridge Counter-> Invalid Device Message ?" by COL01::WELZEL (Uwe Welzel, NaC, Cologne) Wed Jun 17 1992 16:09

Hello MCC'ler,

I've a question regarding counter information of a LANBridge 200 line.
When will the line counter value "Invalid Device Messages" be increased ?
The manual "Bridge Access Module Use" says that this counter will be increased 
the time the bridge receives a datagram that did not use the bridge protocol
type, which means the packet is dedicated for the bridge or ?
For more information:
I'm recording historical data on this bridge for the partition counters and 
characteristics on bridge and lines with the default polling intervals. 
In addition I've setup 7 different alarms monitoring the availability and 
different problems.
We also only see this counter increase on the line on which MCC
polls for information (any connection?)


Thanks in advance for clarification/explanation
