75.0. "HUBWATCH FOR WINDOWS 3.X-DEC BRIDGES" by SNOFS1::MACKENZIE () Wed Nov 11 1992 00:11

            	   	  HUBWATCH FOR WINDOWS 3.X
            	   	  LB200 MANAGEMENT
            
            
            What capabilities will there be in the Hubwatch for Windows 
            product to manage the previous range of Digital LAN bridge 
            products , eg. LB200 ?
            
            Will hubwatch only be capable of SNMP management only, 
            meaning as above that the LB200 can only be SNMP managed ?
            
            If SNMP management only is the method of managing the LB200, 
            can Hubwatch for Win. have the functionality to SET the 
            address and protocol filters, or some equivalence to 
            RBMS/ELMS ?

75.1HUBwatch for Windows will partially manage a LANbridge 200MEMIT::FORRESTFri Nov 13 1992 12:3610
	HUBwatch for Windows only supports SNMP as a management protocol. 

	In addition to full DECbridge 90 management, it supports the 
	new IETF Bridge MIB. I believe the LANbridge 200 also supports 
	this. So you can do at least partial management. You can manage 
	Spanning Tree and some forwarding parameters, but not protocol or
	source address filtering. I think the authors (2 were from DEC) 
	decided that filtering is too different among vendor implementations 
	to standardize a filter group.
