Enabling or Disabling Status Report Frames
Status report frames (SRFs) allow the Status Report protocol to report node
conditions and events. A condition occurs when a node enters a specific state (for
example, duplicate address detected). An event is an immediate occurrence (for
example, the generation of a trace).
By default, the FDDI line generates an SRF announcement frame for its
implemented events (for example, high bit errors, topology changes, trace status
events, MAC frame error condition, and MAC duplicate address condition).
You can disable or enable SRFs for this circuit only by using Site Manager. We
recommend enabling SRFs to ensure that your FDDI network is ANSI-compliant.
Using Site Manager
Complete the tasks in the following table to enable or disable SRFs for this circuit.
7. Click on Done. Site Manager returns you to the Edit
Connector window.
8. Click on Done. Site Manager returns you to the
Configuration Manager window.
