Partitioned Network

Producing Configuration Reports

3-12
The network could become partitioned, creating a situation with more than one
database master and, consequentially, different databases. This can happen in two
ways:
A new INM might be added to the network improperly.
If an INM/NMP loses communication with the network while that INM/NMP
has master status, another INM/NMP can acquire master status. When the failed
INM/NMP comes back into the network, it will see itself as master, as will any
nodes that report to it.
If a multiple master situation occurs, the alarm message
Node "n" will be sent to the INMs/NMPs specified as "Primary" and "Secondary"
nodes in the Node Configuration record for Node "n."
If the network has become partitioned, contact
Systems Technical
The Configuration Report shows current configuration parameters for any or all
FRX8000s on the network. For each node, the report contains:
Node, LP, and port parameters and their configured values.
Any error messages related to configuration (e.g.,
A summary list of LP and port types, showing the total number of each.
The number of SVC and PVC subscribers assigned to the node(s).
A current printout of the Configuration Report should always be available for ref-
erence.
A Configuration Report can be long; while it is printing, any status mes-
sages will be held, then printed at the end of the report. Select a time of rel-
ative network inactivity to generate the report.
You can also create reports consisting of only the SVC Subscriber param-
eters or PVC Connections. These are described
