I'm just wondering if the 7.3-2 version has something like 8.3-1?
In 8.3-1 I know you can get link state from a device via lancp (mc lancp show dev 'dev' /char).
This command works fine and all in 7.3-2 but doesn't show link state.
I've tried to figure out if there some way to find it using f$getdvi lexical but the only thing I seem to find on google (not in help!) is LAN_LINK_UP which generates a not found error.
Best regards

Don't know about F$GETDVI, but MC LANCP definitely shows the link state under V7.3-2.
See attachment.

Re: Link state in OpenVMS 7.3-2
whether LANCP SHOW DEV/CHAR or LANCP SHOW DEV/INT shows the desired information on V7.3-2, may also depend on your VMS732_LAN-V0x00 patches installed and on the type of network card in use.

Re: Link state in OpenVMS 7.3-2
I do have to say thou that these system has not been well cared for in quite a while so basically there is not patches to anything except for the upgrade to 7.3-2 (And the client does not want to touch these since they're supposed to be out of service within 6 months).

Re: Link state in OpenVMS 7.3-2
$ ANAL/SYS
SDA> LAN INT
may also show the link state - again possibly depending on LAN driver patch level and network card used.

SolutionAs Volker indicated, the MC LANCP SHOW DEV /CHAR command can show the "link state" on 7.3-2; but it depends on the type of network card and the patches.
For a DE500 it isn't shown, but for a DEGXA it is (both are known to VMS as EWA0; although not on the same system).
For an "i82559" on a reasonably patched system, the link state is shown; it is not on one of our systems that's legging behind in patches.

Re: Link state in OpenVMS 7.3-2
I've found a V7.3-2 system with DE500-BA, which is actually showing the Link state in LANCP SHOW DEV/INT EWB
The driver version shown is x-111 from 3-AUG-2005 (SYS$EWDRIVER_DE500BA) from VMS732_LAN-V0400.
By applying at least that patch level (including in various VMS732_UPDATE-Vnn00 kits starting with -V0500), you could be sure, that the Link State would be shown.

Re: Link state in OpenVMS 7.3-2
do explain to your client that no changes means no improvements.
I have seen this often as the system that will be gone in a few months is still there years later.
