Table 1-1 FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes Patches and Fixes in Version B.10.20.11 PHNE_18869 (Continued) Symptom Defect 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. 14 Chapter 1
