2802.0. "Share two DECmcc maps" by ANNECY::ROUX (Denis @AEO (7887-4059)) Tue Apr 21 1992 06:35

Hi,

	A customer in FRANCE (SAT) want to use the DECmcc platform to manage 
	its network elements (TNM,FOT) 

	
			 (DECmcc) map	
				|
				|
				X25------> (DECmcc) map 
				|
				|
			Data demultiplexeur
			Network element1 Network element 2...(*5)	


	The question I've been asked is:

	How any event sent by any network elements (x) can be sent to both
	decmcc platforms ?

	How any set directive on any class can be notified to the other DECmcc
	taking into account  that both DECmcc have the same functionality level ?  
	
	Can we write a special com between the two DECmcc (even outside DECmcc)
	or can we write a specific AM the purpose of which would be to send/
		receive directives to the remote DECmcc ?)

	Or this functionality is provided in DECmcc V2.0 (director -- director
	exchange ) ?


	Or any Ideas ??

Thanks for help

I am not completely certain I understand the question, but I will do my best ot answer what
I believe you are asking.

Events -- in reality events aren't "sent" from one node to another as much
          broadcast on the net for receipt by any listener. So in the case
	  of DNA4 events, both MCC's can receive the decnet events if they 
	  are both configured to be looking for them on the net and if
	  you have notify commands setup to give the info to the user.

Dir to Dir -- this was a bit less clear because I think you might be asking
	  for two different things here. Director to Director comunications
	  is coming, but not in this release. Director to Director will allow 
	  a manager at MCC1 route a command through MCC2, so if they are 
	  located on different lan segments, they can have access to 
	  devices on the different segments (not all devices can be
	  managed across the wide area net). 

	  But, I don't think that is really what you are looking for. It 
	  sounds like what you really want is, every time a user on
	  either MCC does a SET directive you want to know about it on the
	  other MCC.  To do this the easiest thing (if you are willing
	  to write some code) would be to enroll an FM that works like
	  the old control FM. It would pick up all requests destined
	  for AMs and pass them along. In your case you would want to 
	  generate an event if you saw that the command is a SET command
	  and then pass it along (or possibly don't generate the event
	  unless you see success response). You could even use the
	  collection AM for the event generation. Just an idea.
