1005.0. "More Details, please..." by BSS::MCDONALD () Mon May 13 1991 14:44



I am looking to recommend the installation of an Enterprise Management
Station. I need to provide a document that will give an overview of the 
functionality of the included components.

So, what I need is, a pointer to documentation on, or a brief description
of the functionality of:

DECmcc BMS
NMCC/VAX ETHERnim
LAN Traffic Monitor
Terminal Service Manager
DECelms
NMCC/DECnet Monitor

A few other related questions: The installed network will consist of an
SNA Gateway and a PCSA server. Does/will DECmcc provide management access
to either entity? Also, if VCS were to be installed, how or will mcc operate
with VCS?


Thanks in advance for any help provided,

1005.1SPDs are a good place to start...MCDOUG::MCPHERSONi'm only 5 foot one...Mon May 13 1991 15:0616
Hello.

I would suggest looking up the SPDs for each of these in VTX ("$ VTX SPD" will 
usu get you there if your site is set up correctly...)  Look at the "Network
Management" listings under the "VMS applications" listings.   There's a lot of
info there about the products you mentioned.

The SPDs for the DECmcc stuff is here in this conference somewhere.
(DIR/TITLE=SPD should net something.)

I will leave it to others to fill you in more about your specific questions...

Oh well....)
1005.2terminal emulation?BSS::MCDONALDTue May 14 1991 16:5012
    
    
    One more question,  Does/will mcc provide terminal emulation?
    
    For example: Since the SNMP AM is not yet available, can we provide
    a connection to the RS232 control port and then be able to pull down
    the screen for that particular device using terminal emulation?
    
    
    Thanks again,

1005.3Why not use a Terminal Server?CHRISB::BRIENENDECmcc Bridge|Station|SNMP Management.Tue May 14 1991 18:014
Why does DECmcc have to provide this?

Why not just attach the "control port" to a terminal server, and connect
to it from the workstation?

>>>    For example: Since the SNMP AM is not yet available, can we provide

	Just to  keep  the  records  straight,  the  SNMP  AM  has been
	shipping since October  1990,  not  that  I  see  a  connection
	between it and terminal emulation.

1005.5thanks...BSS::MCDONALDWed May 15 1991 11:248
    
    
    re .3  That's basically what I would like to do...can you piont me to 
           more information?
    
    re .4  It has to do with terminal emulation becuase that device I would
           be supporting is compatable with SNMP. I was under an incorrect
           impresion that that particular AM was not yet available...
1005.6Use the whole workstation!CHRISB::BRIENENDECmcc Bridge|Station|SNMP Management.Wed May 15 1991 17:2013
RE: 1005.5

The suggestion (communicated via phone to Andy) was to not limit yourself
to just what DECmcc provides(!)

Specifically, if DECmcc is running on a VMS DECwindows Workstation, you can
use other functions provided by it (or by other layered products installed 
on it) to get your job done.

Connecting the RS232 port to a Terminal Server port and using LAT
to connect to that port from a DECterm is one possibility...

1005.7Launch from MCCENUF::GASSMANFri May 17 1991 14:137
    While going to another window and using sethost/lat/telnet,etc
    works, another approach is to launch the appropriate terminal
    connection from the operation menu for the selected device.  This helps
    present the 'integrated' feeling to the product, and brings MCC more in
    line with the style that many other management systems are using.
