721.0. "Cann't get find address to work in HUbwatch for VMS V2.0" by OFFTAP::G_BURTON () Thu Feb 10 1994 19:38

Hello,

	I have been trying to get the find address 
function to work. It will find DECnet addresses but 
will not find MAC addresses. I have confirmation the 
location of the address I want to find, but receive 
the message Address not found. I'm running HUBwatch 
for VMS V2.0 on a OpenVMS V6.0 system. All Bridges 
and agents are up to rev. 

Thanks,

721.1DECnet MAC or hardware addr?QUIVER::HAROKOPUSThu Feb 10 1994 20:108
    Grant,
    
    Are you specifying the 08-00-2b ... hardware address or the AA-...
    DECnet MAC address?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Bob

Bob,

	The 08-00-2b.... address. It looks like in the 
windows where you add this value it might be getting 
over run, i.e. not enough room for the complete address.

721.3Try DECnet MAC addressQUIVER::HAROKOPUSMon Feb 14 1994 12:1216
    Grant,
    
    My understanding is that the 08-00-2b... is no longer used once DECnet
    is running on the node.   Therefore, the 08-00-2b... address is
    probably aged out of the bridges forwarding database.  If you want to 
    do a find by MAC address for a DECnet node you need to use the AA-... 
    address.
    
    Another item that you probably already know is that in HUBwatch V2.0
    find only works
    for DECrepeater 90's being managed by a DENMA (not the 900 hub
    manager).   HUBwatch V3.0 will support finds on 900 repeaters as well.
    
    Regards,
