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).
Nortel Networks recommends enabling SRFs to ensure that your FDDI network is
ANSI-compliant.
To disable or reenable SRFs for this circuit, complete the following tasks:
