Hello,
I have a customer who wishes to manage Vitalink bridges, Lanbridge
150's and 200's, ds90l+ and ds700s, and Wanrouters using DECmcc.
These devices are located locally on an extended LAN and remotely
in a routed, NOT BRIDGED, network.
Is the protocol used to manage the bridges and terminal servers, using
their specific access modules routable? I don't believe it is but I
just want to make sure my assumption is correct.
The customer has designed a network with three different LAN's
connected to three systems. Their design goal as I understand it is to
keep all the traffic separate on these LAN's. One of the systems will
provide routing between the LAN's but this is expected to be minimal
traffic.

Could the DECmcc station be connected to all the LAN's to provide
management of terminal servers and bridges on these LAN's ?
Could the bridges be replace with DECbridge 90's and the DECagent 90 ( I
think this is the name) to manage the bridges on the remote LAN's using
SNMP ?
How do you manage bridges and terminal servers in remote locations from
a single management platform and can we do it with the hardware
mentioned above ?
Thanks

The first answer is directed at the DEC Lanbridges and Vitalinks.
The DEC Lanbridge 150 and 200 use a non-routable protocol. The
Vitalink by default uses a non-routable protocol accessable via the
VBAM access module. There is an SNMP based version of the OS and I
guess some folks have had luck using this, my customer has not (bugs
with DLS and backup circuits).
Connect DECmcc station to all lans...probably not. First you are going
to have interesting routing issues to deal with, but secondly, I don't
know of a system that supports more than two ethernet controllers
(anyone who knows different, please jump in)...at any rate, it is not
going to be straight forward.
Replace the bridges with DECbridge 90's?, yep should be no sweat.
Terminal servers...the DS700s are SNMP managable. Looking at the MIB
for DECHUB 90, it seems that DS90L are also manageable via SNMP.
