Hi All, I have three Alantec Hubs registered as SNMP devices on my MCC platform. When using the command line MCC I can access these hubs and show all of their attributes...... BUT When I try to access the hubs via the MCC GUI I get the "only partially registered" warning messages. So I then select the Register option from the commands menu and all I get from this is that the device can only be partially registered because there is no response from the entity. This "no response" behaviour when registering is also true for the command line MCC. I have tried pinging the device for a period of time and NONE of the pings ever get lost !! It is confusing me that I can talk to the device fine with the command line but cannot with the GUI..... Can anyone shed some light on this or maybe others have had these problems.......?? BTW - I have already tried de-registering and re-registering. Thanks in advance Barry Howard (Network Solutions Support Group)

I too have seen this and think I can explain it. When registering and SNMP entity part of the registration is a getnext againest the objects root id(?) to see if it supports any vendor mibs. If the entity does not respond to the getnext, you will get the partial registration message. You can still use the iconic map, but will have to put up with the partial registration message. | |||||

Ok......that seems sensible........ Is there no MIB which can be installed that has this Atlantec compatibility ?? Barry | |||||
| 6158.3 | It's Atlantec's fault! | BIKINI::KRAUSE | CSC Network Management/Hubs | Wed Nov 09 1994 05:04 | 11 |
Steve's explanation in .1 is concise and correct (Hi Steve, still working with MCC?). >Is there no MIB which can be installed that has this Atlantec compatibility ?? No. MCC would have to program around this agent's deficiencies - which is not likely to happen. Atlantec's SNMP agent does not behave correctly. They are violating the rules stated in RFC1157. Send your complaints to them and request a fix of their agent. *Robert | |||||
