Hi! I have a customer who has 7 AS 2100A in a compute ring connected via a GIGAswitch. The systems were running DUNIX 3.2C and the FDDI cards were supporting full duplex. The customer has upgrade the OS to DUNIX 4.0B and can not get the line cards in the systems to run at full duplex. He has tried to issue the fddi_config command but when he looks it says that full duplex is "disabled"! This seems to be a problem that goes back to the later 3.2 days as related to us in notes 5868 (no answer came out of that note!) and 7742 (which didn't even get a reply!). This seems to be a growing problem and deserves the appropriate attention. If anyone has a solution please respond.... Thanks jim cozzolongo

I think it's just a display problem (checkout valid xmit time)... I
think that the mode is actually being changed...
Are you noticing that the full duplex operation isn't actually working?

When I check out the valid xmit time what should I be looking for that will help me determine if full duplex is operational? Also if this is really just a display problem, is there anything else I can do to determine positively that the fddi card is operating in full duplex? Thanks..... coz | |||||
