In a large customer network configuration there are numerous DSRVR routers that run the DECrouter250 software performing both inter- and intra-area routing. The network is managed by multiple network management stations (NMS) running the DECmcc software; all NMS need to receive events from every router for purposes of backup, recovery and multiple site or manager/group notification. 1. Is it possible to to define more than one event dispatcher or sink for each router? 2. If it is allowable, is it simply a matter of editing the NCL script to duplicate the EVENT DISPATCHER sections and/or the OUTBOUND STREAM sections? 3. If not, will the upgrade from the DECserver250 to the DEC WANrouter 250 help? Thanks, Stratos

1. Is it possible to to define more than one event dispatcher or sink for
each router?
I think you mean outbound stream. The answer is yes. You can have several
outbound streams defined, sending events to more than one destination.
2. If it is allowable, is it simply a matter of editing the NCL script
to duplicate the EVENT DISPATCHER sections and/or the OUTBOUND STREAM
sections?
Yes. You'd CREATE an outbound stream for each destination node.
SET the {sink end user name, and sink node} or {sink address}, whichever
the router supports. Then ENABLE the outbound stream. You also need
to ENABLE the sink at the MCC end to get the events into MCC.
Now I'm a little confused because you speak of phaseV management commands
but also speak of phaseIV hardware. Is your network phaseIV, phaseV,
or a mix of both?

Yes, you are correct; it is a mixed phaseV/IV network. We are studying the means of transition to phase V and network management is one of the issues under investigation. I guess moving the backbone and subnetwork nodes, that is both inter- and intra-area routers to phase V will solve the multiple sink issue. Thanks for your help. | |||||
