Our client, Ameritech, wishes to purchase EMA on Ultrix platform.
Currently, the Ultrix platform is not available until October
(Version 1.1). They wish to adopt an interim platform in order to
start developing MIB.
Could you give a little more information. What is it that
Ameritech is planning to develop. You say "to start developing
MIB". Are they planning on writing an SNMP agent with a
private extension? Are they writing an access module for the
management director?
Is it the path of least pain for the client to begin this effort
under VMS and then migrate? or under Ultrix/MSU and migrate?
Your advise is very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Ed Jolly - 8,471-5097

p.s. Client will be using EMA for BBN/X.25.

| 833.2 | Which way to go? | GLDOA::JOLLY | | Fri Mar 22 1991 17:01 | 14 |
| Michigan Bell Telephone one of the Bell Operating Companies under
Ameritech has a large X.25 Packet network running under BBN products
(switchs). BBN is currently writing a MIB to work with the Ultrix
DECmcc and it should be available sometime in the fall. The account
would like to make use of the EMA concept and code some of there own
MIBs for items such as ISDN, Cable pay for View lines, etc. Since they
can't get the MCC version under Ultrix till fall could they develop
under either VMS DECmcc now or MSU under Ultrix and then port? Which
port would be easier?
Hope that explains it.
thanks

| 833.3 | What does "writing a MIB" mean? | CHRISB::BRIENEN | DECmcc Bridge|Station|SNMP Management. | Mon Mar 25 1991 10:42 | 14 |
| RE: .-1
Since I don't have a telephony background, I may be stumbling over terms
that mean something different to you than to me...
What does "writing a MIB" and "coding some of their own MIBs" mean?
Are you referring to SNMP MIB extensions; perhaps keying in existing SNMP MIB
information (e.g., typing in the FDDI MIB)?
Are you referring to coding of an SNMP Agent that implements a vendor
specific MIB?
Are you referring to populating a database with subscriber names?

| 833.4 | More info on MIB's | GLDOA::JOLLY | | Mon Mar 25 1991 22:06 | 14 |
| I basically mean a little of all of the above. From what I gather if
you buy a MIB supplied by DEC or a third party it can be run under the
DECmcc umbrella. As an example you can put stratcom modems and
Vitalink translan as agents. BBN is producing there own MIB to run
with our DECmcc product. The account likes the concept of EMA and is
thinking about using our standards for MIB's and writing new ones for
some of there other networks such as ISDN lines, cable pay for view
service lines, etc. The issue is the will be up under Ultrix with MCC
when it's available but in the mean time they can only deal with DECmcc
under VMS or MSU under Ultrix. Which is easier to migrate to DECmcc
under Ultrix?
Hope this clears it up.

| 833.5 | Looks like PNMP | TAVIS::PERETZ | | Sun Apr 07 1991 07:51 | 11 |
| Seems to me that what you are trying to do falls in the category of PNMP
(Public Network Management Platform) developed in Valbonne for use of the
telephone networks.
PNMP will be based on DECmcc on Ultrix. Contact Claude Hary @VBO for more
info.
We in Israel have somewhat similar problem. Our decision was to develop Access
Modules for DECmcc on VMS and later migrate to DECmcc on Ultrix.
