1327.0. "Managing a DEMNA?" by TROOA::GILBERT () Fri Aug 09 1991 14:08

    Has anyone tried using DECmcc to talk to a DEMNA?  I have a VAX 9410
    customer who is interested in seeing if DECmcc can effectively manage
    and monitor this device.  I an looking at the DEC LANcontroller 400
    Console User's Guide and it appears the DEMNA keeps all sorts of
    traffic statistics that would be useful to monitor and alarm.
    
    If it is possible, would the DEMNA be registered as an Ethernet
    Station?  Would it be able to get at the counters, and therefore set
    alarms on them?  Is this an application for a DEMNA AM or FM?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Peter

The Ethernet (Station) AM will treat the DEMNA as target for Station requests (SHOW STATION x ALL CHAR\|STATUS\|COUNT, TEST STATION x), assuming that the requests are not originating from the DEMNA in question.

 The Ethernet (Station) AM will treat the DEMNA as target for Station
requests (SHOW STATION x ALL CHAR|STATUS|COUNT, TEST STATION x), assuming
that the requests are not originating from the DEMNA in question.
These requests are limited to MOP REQUEST-ID, MOP COUNTERS, IEEE802
XID|TEST, and Ethernet V2 Loop and Loop with Assist.

 Alarms could be written for MOP Counters that are returned,
however...

 The DEMNA is offering additional counters/functions that are accessible
via the QIO interface (Remote Console?). The Ethernet Station AM does
not support these value added functions.

>  Is this an application for a DEMNA AM or FM?

 Yes. Sure would be a nice addition to DECmcc...
