 o  already exists

    The FDDI module already exists on the specified node.

2  –  station

    Creates an instance of an FDDI station, using the specified
    communications device. Station-name is a simplename that
    identifies this particular FDDI station instance.  The
    Communication Port argument is required.

    create  [node node-id] fddi station station-name -
            communication port port-id

    The Communication Port is the system device name assigned to this
    station.

    On Tru64 UNIX the port-id must be in the format ddn, where dd
    is the device name prefix and n is the device number.

    On OpenVMS the port-id must be in the format ddc, where dd is
    the device name prefix and c is the controller letter.

2.1  –  Exception Messages

 o  required argument omitted

    Communications port is a required argument for this command.

 o  already exists

    An fddi station by that instance name already exists.

 o  no such object instance

    The FDDI module has probably not been created yet.   On OpenVMS,
    verify the contents of your NET$FDDI_STARTUP.NCL script.  You
    may need to run net$configure to reconfigure your devices.
