5098.0. "novice question on autotopology" by CSC32::J_WIELAND () Thu May 20 1993 11:03

Dear readers,

Can you explain the difference between the Polycenter Framework package
and the Polycenter Network Management 200 package?  

In particular, does one contain the ability for autotopology mapping and 
the other one does not. 

Finally, when topology maps are drawn, is there any feature to automatically
draw the lines between the systems?

Thanks In advance...

	POLYCENTER Framework (PF) doesn't have AutoTopology.
	POLYCENTER Network Manager 200 (PNM200), built on PF, has DECnet IV
	 and TCP/IP AutoTopology.
	POLYCENTER Network Manager 400, built on PF/PNM200, adds Bridge
	 Spanning Tree and FDDI Ring AutoTopology.

	Autotopology can be added to PF via the AutoConfig/Topology Option
	 (DECnet IV and TCP/IP) and ELM AM/FM Option (STM and FDDI Ring Map).

	Yes.
