The Question is: We had an unusual problem last week. We have been looking around and did lancp show device/counters. The question is Carrier check failures, should we ever see a value > 0 When we do lancp show device/counters, we are presented with 2 devices eia0, eib0, eic0 and ewa0. The first 3 all have packets sent and received and eib0 has 18 carrier check failures. The last device has over 32 million carrier check failures, but the send/receive counters are zero. The second question is, does that mean the last devic e is not being used and it is okay to see those carrier check failures. Thank you. The Answer is : Please contact your hardware services organization, as it would appear that your network hardware is misconfigured -- the OpenVMS Wizard is not familiar with your network configuration, and not in a position to know if this particular hardware misconfiguration is entirely benign. If this adapter is not required, then you can disable the device within the DECnet and TCP/IP network configurations. This will prevent the device from starting, and will prevent the accumulation of errors. Or you could provide the network controller involved with a functional network connection, of course. Whether or not the device is unintentially unused and/or is actually unneeded is another and entirely different discussion.
