1260.0. "an innocent abroad..." by 42721::HARVEY (Baldly going into the unknown...) Thu Mar 03 1994 13:16

   Can someone please advise re: the following query - Net Mgt is not my strong 
   point...
 
   A customer has DECbridge 520's and wishes/needs to set IP protocol filters. 
   They already have an SNMP manager based on SUN - I have requested more 
   details on just which one is running...
 
   My question : Is it possible to manage such facilities as Protocol Filters 
   from SNMP or does this require Digital "proprietary" management via the 
   likes of DECmcc and the Bridge AM etc. ?
 
   thanks

What do you mean by "IP protocol filters"?  Do you mean filtering on the IP
protocol type in the datalink header, or do you mean filtering on fields
in the IP header?  (If the latter, the answer is that there is no such thing
in any of our bridges.)

   Sorry Paul - I was refering to the bridge's capabilities to filter protocol 
   types and source/destination addresses.
