| I've never heard of NAT bridges. They definitely will not use
Digital's proprietary RBMS protocol, so DECmcc ELM will not be able to
access them.
Do NAT bridges have SNMP agents? What MIBs do they support? You'll
have to look at the bridge documentation to find out.

Hi Ed,
I'm working with Pierre on the second part of the problem.
You're right, NAT bridges are only managed via SNMP Access Module.
Our problem is how the ELM Functional Module (ie STP Listener process)
works. It detects DEC bridges and VITAlink bridges, but not NAT bridges
which are in the same topology (same Spanning Tree algorithm).
Is the STP process auto-configuration principle based on Spanning Frames
exchanged between all the bridges (DEC, VITALINK, NAT...) ? Which
version (DEC STP or/and IEEE 802.1d) ?
Regards,
Renato

No, the listener find bridges by listening for MOP SYSIDs.

The question is can you ping the nat box from the system running
DECmcc? If you can, then registration should be successful. Note
that partial registration can occur if the SNMP AM cannot find an
internet name for the specific device from the domain name server.
