- John, it dosn't seem that you can do much more. A trace on the ring from start
- to finish of claim process will surely tell something, but you get filled up
- buffer before the process is ended. May be if you start logging toward the
- end of the claim process may tell you a clue. The fact that you saw claim and
- then beaconing process started may have been caused by either a defective
- cable which should cause more than one machine to beacon or the defective IBM
- host thought there was a cable problem, a buggy host.
-
- Take a look at the cisco fddi interface (show int fddi 0): look for
- bursts of carrier transitions when the IBM host is not functional. Turn debug
- fddi-cmt on the upstream and downstream ciscoes from the IBM host if any and
- monitor the fddi ring activity. I doubt you would see much, yet it may
- suppliment your claim to IBM.

- Good Luck!
