I tried registering a packetprobe 90 on DECmcc/VMS and it only partially registered. The probe is working fine as I'm using the probewatch s/w. I can register an Ultrix system on DECmcc/VMS as an snmp entity so mcc appears to be ok. I can ping the packetprobe from the mcc system. Are there problems in using the packetprobe with DECmcc. I want to send snmp traps from the packetprobe to mcc. Will the partial registration effect this ? Colman

| 5739.1 | Known problem or what? | KERNEL::WARDJO | Mon Feb 21 1994 06:12 | 11 | |
Hello,
Does anyone know if this is a known problem with the Probe, or if it
could be something in the setup.
Any clues as to what to look for.
Regards,
Jon

MCC requires that the object (in the case the probe) return a number of the system attributes in the MIB-2 tree (like sysDescriptor, sysObjectID, sysLocation, etc.). If the probe is not returning them, then you will get the partial registration. Software like the probewatch ignore most of these fields. The "spec" (RFC mumble) says that the device MUST return that info, and MCC seems to ignore that adage "Be generous in what you accept, carefull in what you send". Try running MCC_TCPIP_MQ and see what it is actually willing to return. Partial registration should not affect the sending of traps. | |||||
