FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes
Patches and Fixes in Version B.10.20.11
4. The EISA FDDI driver does not
report any errors when an invalid
multicast address is added by a user.
4. All FDDI multicast addresses have
the I/G (Individual/Group) bit set to 1.
The driver code was not checking for
attempts to add multicast addresses
with the I/G bit 0, and would return
success.
5. EISA FDDI nettl log messages do
not appear after a card reset.
5. Since nettl is not started when the
card init is done during bootup, EISA
FDDI error messages are not logged to
nettl during boot. To determine
whether error messages can be logged
with nettl, a flag in the driver’s board
structure, which indicates whether a
card init has been done, is used. This
flag was getting reset during a card
reset, and so subsequent error log
messages were not getting logged with
nettl.
6. Enhancement request to have SNMP
subagent supported on the EISA FDDI
driver.
6. The EISA FDDI SNMP subagent
was not being supported. The reason to
have this feature is to maintain
consistency between the different
FDDI cards, and the ability to manage
all the FDDI networks from OpenView
management station.
7. Disable of Multicast addresses fails
on EISA FDDI.
7. The DLPI ioctl,
DL_HP_DISABMULTI would return
success, but the multicast address in
the CAM on the EISA FDDI card was
not getting deleted. This was
happening because the multicast
address was not being sent to the card
in the correct format.
