5818.0. "How to access RMON MIB of PacketProbe90 form Polycenter?" by TKOV51::HAYAKAWA (Kohei Hayakawa,DS/EIC/NIS/NT/SE, HUB5F) Thu Jan 13 1994 04:49

	I want to access RMON MIB of PacketProbe90 from Polycenter.
	I tried it by both line mode and iconic map of Polycenter, 
	but PacketProbe90 was no responce.
	I tried...

	MCC> show snmp probe rmon statistics etherstatstable 

	...but no responce.

	Please teach me how to access RMON MIB of PacketProbe90 
	from Polycenter.

	Regards,
	Kohei.

Well, 'no response' can have many reasons. Here is a start:

The probe needs to be given an IP address through the local console.
After that it should respond to a ping or from MCC

	MCC> show snmp probe all status

assuming 'probe' is the IP name from the hosts database. Again using the
local console terminal set an SNMP community string, e.g. 'ppmgr'. Then
you should be able to do a

	MCC> show snmp probe all char, by password "ppmgr"

To avoid specifying the community name you could set 'public' in the
probe (not recommended for security reasons) or Register the probe

	MCC> register snmp .ip.probe synonym probe, by password "ppmgr"

and set the Write Community Name

	MCC> set snmp .ip.probe write community name "ppmgr"

	Thank you for your help.
	I'm sorry. My explaination was not enough.
	I could access to PacketProbe90 by SNMP protocol and get MIB-II 
	information. But I cannot get RMON MIB information of it.
	How to access RMON MIB information by Polycenter?

5818.3To get you into the MIB:BIKINI::KRAUSEEuropean NewProductEngineer for MCCFri Jan 21 1994 03:0810
For a start try

MCC> show snmp probe rmon statistics etherstatstable * all count

I would suggest to use the forms mode (MCC> use mode forms) and find
your way through the RMON MIB using the <Help>, <F17> and <Select> keys, 
or use the Iconic Map. Of course, a copy of RFC1271 would be helpful as 
a road map.

    Hi Kohei-san,
    
    I have the same problem as yours. How do you make it work?
    
    Thanks,

5818.5A receipt to get it workBERN01::GMUERThu Apr 14 1994 05:45126
Dear colleagues

I have made some tests with Packetprobe and DECmcc. There are some problems.
I have sent the attached log-file to the product manager Jack Forrest with
the hope that it will be forwarded to the engineering.

re .3 >> MCC> show snmp probe rmon statistics etherstatstable * all count

This comand did not work with me. DECmcc came into an endless loop.

In the second part of the log-file, you find a small example how to program 
the Packetprobe to get the ehtherStatsTable counters into DECmcc. You
can also compute RMON statistics with the performance analyzer FM.

We are using today Probewatch for interactive use and DECmcc (Historian FM)
in parallel and it works fine.
