Hi,
a customer would like to manage his Ethernet/Token Ring LAN (based on ODS
Infinity HUBs) with DECmcc. The Token Ring cards from ODS support RMON
including Token Ring OBJECT IDENTIFIER::={rmon 10}
As far as I can see with the DAP - MCC 1.4 doesn't support Token Ring as
a subclass from rmon.
Are there any plans to support the Token ring subclass in a future release
of DECmcc?
Thanks

Hi Birgit,
RMON MIB is pre-loaded in the MCC dictionary.
As you certainly know there is a MIB translator utility to translate MIB
definitions to make possible to load then in the dictionary.
I think you may do the same for { rmon 10} if you can get the MIB.
Check if it is in some RFC or delivered with the equipement to be
monitored.
We have no plans to do that in a future release.
Regards,
Benoit

"Token Ring OBJECT IDENTIFIER::={rmon 10}" is defined in rfc 1513
and is an extension of rfc 1271 which defines RMON on ethernet
datalink only. Note that rfc 1271 is now obsolete and replaced
by rfc 1757. An unified version including both ethernet and
token ring will be available someday.
Fddi data link is not yet supported by RMON.
I think you won't be able to compile rfc 1513 directly into DECmcc
because this rfc uses mib variables defined in rfc 1271. DECmcc
compiler doesn't support this kind of redirection but only variables
defined in mib-II. So I think the best way is to merge the 2 RFCs
by hand and then replace rmon subclass into dictionary.
Good luck,
Guy.
