2602.0. "alarming execptions problem" by COL01::LUNT () Fri Mar 20 1992 10:31
Hello,
	Due to lack of response from the QAR system, I am entering
this here in the notes file. I really need to get the alarming 
working properly
Julie Ann
(20-mar-1992)
Recently I created alarm rules for 15 bridges. Each bridge has three
rules, one for reachability(device operating) and one for
each port(that the port is in forwarding state). The alarms poll every
5 minutes. I recieve one of the following two exceptions on 20-50% of
the alarms every time they execute. 
The first message implies that perhaps my system or network too busy is for
the poll. But the second baffles me. Why would I get such a message? Do the
two have anything to do with one another? Do these messages have anything to
do with a V1.1 problem that I would get frequent exception messages of the
form: Error trying to transmit a packet, device inactive?

|  |   Julie Ann,
  Both of the exceptions you have shown:
>    Exception:     Communication with the target has been interrupted
>
>    Exception:     The requested operation cannot be completed
>                   %MCC-E-INVDEVNAM,  invalid Ethernet device specified.
  are errors returned from the Bridge Access Module to Alarms.
  Could someone on the Bridge / Ethernet project help on this one ?

| 2602.2 | Some known MCC_EA problems w/T1.2.4 | CHRISB::BRIENEN | DECmcc LAN and SNMP Stuff... | Fri Mar 20 1992 16:52 | 11 | 
|  | I had to go looking to find this one: QAR#300, MCC_EXT_V1_2, 3/5/92
(for some reason I don't get copied on QARs for the ALARMS component)..
There were some MCC_EA (Ethernet Access common routine) problems recently
discovered/fixed in MCC that involved mis-handling of device tables.
The symptom was spurious %MCC-E-INVDEVNAM errors when issuing Bridge (and
Station) requests.
These fixes will appear in the DECmcc EFT Update code...
