2478.0. "Chipcom ONLINE MIB and IMPM" by OSLACT::BJORN (Once again) Wed Mar 04 1992 08:17

I've been testing the Private MIB Extension for a Chipcom ONLINE Hub, against
ONLINE_2, 6 slots Hub.

The compiling and adding to the dictionary went very smoothly.

There are a couple of things I've been observing.

In the MIB input file, a description variable exists for every item that is
defined in the dictionary. My question is; How do I access this description
from within the IMPM? I tried the HELP function from the MAP window and from 
the management windows, but it returned an error meesage in a dialog box, saying
something like "Cannot access help library SYS$HELP:MCC_DECWINDOWS_HELP.HLB.

ANy ideas?

Another observation was the presentation of the interfaces, which was very 
strange. I read in another note that I had to count up the maximum possible 
number of ports per slot to find the interface I want to look at, i.e. port 3.3
is max port of slot 1 and 2 = 16*2 + port 3 on module 3 = Interface 35.
With this method to present a HUB for our customers, we won't win. Any method
to better present the module.port?

	Unfortunately, the description in the mib is just thrown away by
	the mib translator. For our next version, there are plans to make
	the description available to the user through the help function.

Next version of what? BMS or TCP/IP? I'm a bit confused on the packaging versus
the engineering groups works. Can we expect to have modifications to TCP_IP AM
before next version of BMS? What is the next version number? 1.3 or 2.0? Or do
you mean next baselevel (which I'm waiting for on behalf on Alcatel)?

I believe this refers to a post V1.2 release.  No plans have yet
been announced regarding the version number or schedule of any
release after V1.2.
