5135.0. "DECBRIDGE 90 FL AND BRIDGE AM" by ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR () Wed Jun 02 1993 10:26

Hello,

This entry is entered in the HUB_MGNT notes, too.

I tried to register a DECbridge 90 FL in MCC. I get the errormessage "Communi-
cation with entity has been interrupted" and the bridge is only partially 
registrated. With the normal DECbridge 90 I have no problems to do that.

We run MCC V1.3, we tested with the FL bridge FROM V3.0 and V3.1. The normal
bridge we have is on FROM V3.1.

Has somebody seen something similar? I've done a trace, I think the problem is
on the bridges site, but I'm not 100% shure.

5135.3now trying SNMP...GIDDAY::DRANSFIELDMike Dransfield, Sydney RSSGSat Jun 19 1993 08:118
    re: .2
    I think I spoke too soon...
    I checked up with other notes about decbridge 90's and it seems that
    the Bridge AM doesn't actually support them, but they should be
    supported using SNMP via a DECagent 90 V1.1. I am trying to see if this
    approach works before I complain too loudly :-)

5135.4when will it be supported?BACHUS::DEWILDEPatrickWed Sep 29 1993 11:214
    Are there any plans to support the DECbridge90-FL from the bridge AM?
    My customer does not have SNMP...

    Hi,

    Recently i spent some Time on the old problem registering a DECbridge
    90 FL. Here are the results.

    
    MCC> reg bridge .telco.v.my_bridge address 08-00-2B-31-D5-E5

    Bridge PTTCH:.telco.v.my_bridge
    AT 13-OCT-1993 17:11:47
    Partial registration success. Please retry later to complete the
    registration.
            Reason for Partial Registration = Communication with the target
                                              has been interrupted

    The registrations command wants to read the Bridges Characteristic's
    and there, my guess, the registration fails because one can do

    MCC> sho bridge .telco.v.my_bridge
    Using default ALL IDENTIFIERS

    Bridge PTTCH:.telco.v.my_bridge
    AT 13-OCT-1993 17:16:26 Identifiers

    Examination of attributes shows:
                                       Name = PTTCH:.telco.v.my_bridge
                                    Address = { 08-00-2B-31-D5-E5,
                                                08-00-2B-71-D5-E5 }
    or

5135.6Bridge AM does not support DB90/90FL.NPSS::WADENetwork Systems SupportThu Mar 31 1994 16:0313
    
    
    It has been stated in this conference that the DECmcc Bridge AM does
    not support the DECbridge90/90FL.  In fact the SPD specifically states 
    that the Bridge AM ONLY supports the LANbridge100/150/200 and the 
    DECbridge 5xx/6xx.
    
    Certain commands may work and others may not but it is not supported
    and there are currently no plans to enhance the Bridge AM or the RBMS
    agent on the DECbridge90/90FL to support management via the Bridge AM.
    
    SNMP is the way to go with the DECbridge90/90FL.
