Running

pf_smtmon

shows the frequent occurrence

of request denied frames (RDF).

The SMT entity on one of the remote stations does not support
the same set of SMT services. This should not occur on a
station running SunFDDI/P. You can use this facility to detect
problems communicating with a remote station using the
SunNet Manager proxy agent.

Cannot select

pf_fddi

or

pf_fddismt7_2

agent for

quick dump.

Check that the SNM agents for SunFDDI/P are enabled in the
properties window for the proxy station. See “Using the
SunFDDI/P Local Agent (pf_fddi)” on page 110
for detailed
instructions.

Cannot recover SMT statistics from the proxy agent.
The procedure fails with the error message, “

Cannot

create RPC client: program is not

registered

.”

Check that you specified the host name or MAC address for
the target machine in the properties window for the target
station. See “Using the SunFDDI/P Local Agent (pf_fddi)” on
page 110
for detailed instructions.

Check that the SNM daemons are started on the proxy and the
target machines:

# ps -ef | grep snm

root

/pf_snmd

root

/pf_snmd

root

/pf_snmd

On a Solaris 2.x client, you can start the SunNet Manager
daemons for SunFDDI/P by typing:

# /usr/sbin/pf_snmd
