| 106.1 | See the Filter screen on V1.0 | NOHOST::LEVIN | Bryan, LENaC Engineering, MLO3-3/U39 | Mon Dec 21 1992 14:35 | 32 |
| YES!
Check out the Ultrix V1.0 HUBwatch. Use the 'summary screen' for the
WGB90. Then, bring up the 'filter screen'. If you enable polling
('utilization graph ... Enable Display'), you'll see a red and green
graph, divided in half. The left-hand side (to the left of the black
dividing bar) is the backbone traffic. The right has the workgroup
traffic.
To interpret this graph, think of RED as BLOCKING. This means the
amount of traffic that is STOPPED (filtered) at a particular side of
the bridge. GREEN represents the traffic FLOWING THRU the bridge.
This means that if you add the RED and GREEN pieces (on a particular
side of the bridge), you'll get the TOTAL traffic on that side.
Similarly, if you add all 4 segments (both greens and both reds),
you'll get the ENTIRE traffic spectrum 'seen' on both sides of the
bridge. So, each colored segment is a percentage OF THE WHOLE that is
stopped/forwarded on a side.
Note, that there are 3 of these 'graph strips'. The top graph shows
the 'instantaneous' rate (a ratio of 'delta' values). The middle is
meant to serve as a 'holder' or snapshot, that when the user presses
the snapshot button, a copy of the top graph is saved in the middle
region. The bottom (third) region is the long-term average. It's like
the a ratio of 'total delta' values. However, a simulation of 'zeroing
counters' can be done by the 'reset average' button. This saves the
current counter values, and makes all future references [while this
screen remains up and running] RELATIVE to these frozen values. Again,
it really does not zero the bridges counters, but acts like it does.

| 106.2 | Will the PC Hubwatch platform suffice | ONOIS1::GAIRNS | | Tue Dec 22 1992 04:28 | 12 |
| That's great news... Can I take the question a bit further?
I have one backbone segment and three workgroup segments.
Can I put three DECbridge 90s plus the DECagent in one Hub?
The customer doesn't currently have Ultrix so can the PC version of
Hubwatch offer the same info as the Ultrix V1.0
Thanks for your help

| 106.3 | Sorry, only on the V1.0 (and maybe 1.1) | NOHOST::LEVIN | Bryan, LENaC Engineering, MLO3-3/U39 | Tue Dec 22 1992 08:12 | 12 |
| >can the PC version offer the same info as the Ultrix V1.0
I don't believe the PC version has this graph. There may be other
graphs possible, but the idea of this kind of graph came to me rather
late, and was not planned for when the PC project was conceived.
Also, I think there is a different kind of graph in the next 1.1
ultrix/vms version. [Field test reviewers note: you might want to get
a hold of T1.1 to compare. I know it has different screens than did
the V1.0 product].

| 106.4 | re .3 Can you clarify the Vn 1.1 remark? | ONOIS1::GAIRNS | | Tue Dec 22 1992 11:58 | 10 |
| Re .3
Do you mean that the info/presentation may disappear in the future
version? (1.1)
If I use an Ultrix or VMS Platform. Is DECmcc a pre-requisite?
(I'm running out of questions. Thanks for your help)

| 106.5 | Bridge data in Windows version, etc | EMDS::SEAVER | LENAC Net Mgnt Mktg 223-4573 | Mon Dec 28 1992 10:09 | 15 |
| 1.1 has the same type of information in a graphical format. Should be
a new field test version available within a week and you are on the
distribution list to receive a notice about it.
DECmcc is not a prerequisite for HUBwatch. All is provides is a map
of the network.
Windows has the information in a tabular format. It is under bridge
performance.
In a previous note you asked about using three bridges in one hub. The
answer is no! YOu can only have two slots that can hold either bridges
or agents. YOu can use two bridges in one hub and an agent outside the
hub tho.
