287.0. "Management of DEC FDDI controller 700 ?" by TRHLE1::INGVARD (You ask why I say Ultrix) Fri Jun 21 1991 04:18

	Hi.

I have a customer that have bougth 2 DEC FDDIcontroller 700 and one 
DECbridge 500. He is happy with the equipment. But he wants to manage it.
He has no VAX/VMS only ULTRIX systems. I know that MSU 1.1 wil manage 
DECbridge 6xx. I have not any info about managing DEC FDDIcontroller 700 or
DECbridge 500.

Please let me know if there are any software that can manage my customers 
hardware on ULTRIX.

The 700 doesn;t really have anything to manage.  Using either netstat -s -i
or if you have DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX installed, you ncl to show the device.

287.2Unfortunate , but true...STAR::SALKEWICZIt missed... therefore, I am Fri Jun 21 1991 17:3313
    UIltrix has not provided any way to adjust the FDDI ring parameters?
    Like TReq for example?
    
    This is also true for VMS, but we plan to update DECnet-VAX ASAP
    with some additional management functions for FDDI. It is unfortunate
    that these products are not more manageable right now. Popular
    belief is that there should be little or no need to catually manage
    the FDDI ring parameters,.. but I guess nobody really has enough
    experience yet to know what the field will trun up.

    MSU 1.1 speaks RBMS-protocol, and can therefore manage ALL Digital
    bridges (except DECbridge 90).

Thank you very mutch
