386.0. "Bridge Forwarding Database ?" by STKHLM::NORDSTROM (A Swedish Viking) Wed Sep 15 1993 11:33

    Hi !
    
    A customer is running the Hubwatch software and wonders about 
    the Bridge Forwarding Database display.
    
    The Forwarding Database display contains three fields:
    
    MAC address		Decnet Address		Decnet name
    
    The MAC and Decnet address is filled in when he looks at the
    entries but not Decnet name. Now he wonders if it is possible
    to see Decnet name and if he has to configure this in any way 
    to se it.
    
    When I look in the Use manual The Bridge Forwarding Database
    is displayed on page 9-19 but the fields are not described.
    Can someone here explain them to the customer and me ?
    
    Regards, Richard TSC Sweden

386.1fixed in V2 so I hearGIDDAY::DRANSFIELDMike Dransfield, Sydney RSSGFri Sep 17 1993 00:238
    re: .0
    I assume that this is VMS. The DECnet name is broken, supposed to be
    fixed in V2.0.. I reported this ages ago.
    The fields are straightforward.
    If the mac address is decnet format, then the decnet address and name
    are supposed to be displayed.
    It works on ULTRIX...
