445.0. "network management" by FA18::JOLLEY (This space left intentionally blank) Tue Jan 14 1992 14:34

	How remote is remote?

	If I am using a DECconcentrator stand-alone and don't
	need the "A" and "B" ports, then I don't order the
	Network Management Card. 

	But this module provides "remote" network management.

	In a stand-alone config., what network mgt. is available?

	From a workstation connected to the DEFCN (remote?), 
	what network mgt. is available?

	Will the DEFCN respond to SNMP SHOWs from one of the
	locally connected workstations?

					thanks,
					Ron Jolley

445.1	no A/B card means no MAC	QUIVER::PARISEAU	Luc Pariseau	`Tue Jan 14 1992 16:28`	8
	Without the A/B card the DEFCN doesn't have a MAC. Without a MAC the DEFCN can not receive ANY (SNMP, MOP, etc.) network frames. You can still manage it via OBM but not SNMP. "Remote" means anywhere on the network. Luc
445.2	thanks	FA18::JOLLEY	This space left intentionally blank	`Tue Jan 14 1992 18:26`	3
	thanks for the quick response. Thinking about this was making my head hurt. Jolley
445.3	OBM functionality?	VCSESU::WADE	Bill Wade, VAXc Systems & Support Eng	`Wed Mar 18 1992 12:02`	4
	Is there any documentation on what functions/commands are available from teh OBM for the DECconcentrator and DECbridges? Can you set protocol filtering for a DECbridge through OBM?
445.4	OBM SET Menu and Doc	WARP5::MCCLOUD	Dennis McCloud - SOA ANC	`Thu Apr 02 1992 16:33`	17
	The OBM functions and commands are documented in the new Installation manual for the DECconcentrator 500. Order number is EK-DEFCN-IN-004. Chapter 4 contains the screens for the OBM access. Looking at the SET Menu the entries are: 1) IP Address 2) Gateway Address 3) Requested TRT 4) LEM Threshold 5) TVX 6) Update Switch 7) Ring Purger Enable 8) Password 9) Defaults and Reset 0) Restricted Token Timeout e) Exit Looks like no protocol filtering access.
