| I've the same doubt.
I've to offer a DECbridge 600 to a customer who wants LAN statistics
too. The customer uses MCC to manage his network and I'd like to
propose him the Extended LAN Manager to manage it.
What I don't know (and I couldn't find out clearly in the documentation
I've found), if I have to offer an additional DECbridge 600 just to
collect statistical LAN data, in the old LTM way.
I've to complete my offer until tomorrow morning, so any kind prompt
reply is absolutely appreciate.
Thanks in advance,
Livia

| The DECbridge 5xx and 6xx have no LTM capabilities. You can use
the PA FM to get utilization and other statistics, but MCC does not
provide any bridge reports.

| Thanks for your reply.
Just one clarification, if you can :
>You can use the PA FM to get utilization and other statistics
Do you know if this kind of data can give to the customer an
appreciate way to estimate the LAN utilization in terms of % ?

| Yes. It provides network utilization, multicast utilization, and
singlde destination utilization as %. What is not available are any
nice reports that provide averages or peaks over time.

| 5041.5 | It's ok ... | RAISSA::PROFETI | | Fri May 14 1993 09:47 | 14 |
| Ok,
in my opinion that's better then to have a dedicated LAN bridge
to obtain statistical data.
Moreover to have an integrated AM to do it it's also good.
DECmcc reports in general are not to so good (always in my
opinion), the good stuff is to have an SQL db available, so you
can create your reports as you want.
Thanks again, ciao

If I may: you *do* have a database available for you to "...create your
reports as you want."
If you're using VMS, then you have RDB. If you're using ULTRX, then
you have Ingres. You are entirely free to use *any* of the various
report writer tools available for those databases.
Of course, you have to have been exporting the statistics over time,
but you'd have to do that (or a similar operation) for ANY management
system that relies on database queries.
As a footnote for those who've read this far: the *original* intent of
the DECmcc Reports package was to provide an *example* of how to
generate reports from exported data. Due to packaging & product
requirements, it somehow ended up being sold as THE Reports package.
