41.0. "How flexible is HUBwatch ?" by WARDLE::REX (Life's not what I thought it was!) Thu Apr 16 1992 13:40

I am currently involved in a bid with a customer who wishes to manage their
DEC, Chipcom and PC environment.

As you can imagine, they were not overly impressed with the graphic interface.

As it happens they postponed the bid because all 3 vendors promised more than 
could realistically be delivered against the tendor.

With Hubwatch due to be released, is there any way that using SNMP Hubwatch 
could be used to manage Chipcom hubs, or alternatively the DECmcc graphical
interface modified to represent hubs physically, instead of offering MIBs as
forms ?

If there are plans a-foot, when are they due to come to fruition ?

Thanks

41.1HUBwatch is somewhat flexible...MEMIT::FORRESTTue Apr 28 1992 19:3115
LENAC has no immediate plans to manage other vendors' hubs using HUBwatch.

DECmcc and DECmcc MSU are both interested in managing everyone's hubs. 
I've heard that Chipcom and DECmcc have something underway. Send mail to 
Elias Hattem as a starting point to find out more.

Rex, can you send me mail regarding the following?

   You mentioned 3 vendors - DEC, Chipcom, who was the 3rd?

   I cannot imagine that they were not impressed with the graphic interface.
   I would like to know specifically what they didn't like about the graphic 
   interface; we need to know, if we are to make improvements.
