re: SNMP and DEFPA running on NT v3.51

I have a customer who is trying to manage FDDIcontrollers installed in NT servers using Spectrum Element Mgr (Cabletron's NMS) and is unable to access any of the FDDI MIB OIDs (RFC 1512, I suppose).

Could someone clarify the situation:

1. As shipped (out-of-the-box) will the cards support RFC 1512 on NT?

2. If the answer is NO to the above, will "NICWORKS" provide this functionality ?

Thanks,

J-YE.

    No.  We presently do not have a SNMP co-agent for RFC1512 that runs
    over our DEFEA or DEFPA NDIS 3 drivers.  This is something we plan on
    providing, at some point.  Off the subject, we do provide an SNMP
    co-agent (both RFC1512 and DEC Extended MIB) for the NetWare server
    platform.

    Not exactly.  You won't be able to use a MIB browser (such as is
    supplied with Spectrum) to access the data, but you will be able to
    get/set RFC1512 information locally using NICWORKS/FDDI.

    If you have further questions on this, please let me know.
