Hi,
Has anybody already managed a DECbridge 520 running v.1.2.1
of firmware using SNMP protocol ?
It's working fine for a DECbridge 620 but the DECbridge 520
(7 units) never answers to SNMP command, even MIB-2 parameters are
not returned. By the way, you can "ping" them without any problem.
Best regards
Patrick

| 717.1 | We are aware of it | HOTBMW::CINNAMON | Mon Sep 21 1992 19:41 | 10 | |
We have a serious problem reported from ORNL on 9/17 that sounds similar. They were running V1.2 on a 510. It looks like it's not an isolated incident. We reproduced the problem in our lab 9/18 and are feverishly working to fix it. However, we don't have a solution for it as yet. We will know more in the next couple days. Mike | |||||
| 717.2 | We found the problem and have a fix | HOTBMW::CINNAMON | Sun Oct 18 1992 23:07 | 22 | |
We have found that all DECbridge 500 series bridges have their SNMP
agent disabled. The box can be pinged but it won't respond to SNMP
requests. V1.0, V1.1 and V1.2 all have this problem. We have generated
a fix for this problem and have provided it to the support group for
distribution. The special version of firmware to fix this problem is
V1.2.1. Contact the CSC if you need this fix
We are releasing a new version of DECbridge firmware to manufacturing
and to the SSB to fix this problem. The new version is V1.2B. It fixed
two problems:
1 - The NVRAM CRC would get corrupted if an IP ADDRESS was entered
with a network management command. This would cause the
power-up selftest to fail.
2 - The SNMP agent was disabled.
Note that both the 500 and 600 series firmware will be bumped to V1.2B
with this fix. The 600 series code wasn't actually changed but it is
necessary to keep the two product's firmware in sync.
