116.0. "Hub Watch for Ultrix Risc Bridge setting/getting problems" by ANGLIN::ORTHOBER () Tue Jan 05 1993 17:43

	Hi All:

	I am having problems getting hub watch for risc/ultrix
	working with a hub that I have.

	agent 90 hw=d01 rom=bl05.00 sw=v1.0

	I can't get info from/to the bridge.  I keep getting
	"there was an SNMP error".  I have tried everyting including
	turing off autoscan.  

	Please let me know how to fix this.

thanks

116.1	Please gather some more data- does agent work	EMDS::SEAVER	LENAC Net Mgnt Mktg 223-4573	`Tue Jan 05 1993 21:00`	6
	Look at the agent out of band port. See what address youhave for the bridge. Try connecting to the bridge from the agent out of band (choice 18). This all assumes you have the bridge at 3.0.
116.2	Bridge 90 3 ethernet addresses?	ANGLIN::ORTHOBER		`Wed Jan 06 1993 10:27`	22
	Ok, using the only menu entry on the console of the agent that I did not before (connect) I got to the bridge a here are the addresses... 08-00-2b-29-89-13 (hub address, port1) 08-00-2b-2d-4a-a5 (port 2) But when I do a show module address from the agent for the bridge I get... 08-00-2b-2e-fc-bb Which is what is stamped on the outside of the bridge... I'll try the other addresses, but what gives? The bridge does not have 3 addresses? thanks ort1
116.3	None of the 3 addreses work for the bridge	ANGLIN::ORTHOBER		`Wed Jan 06 1993 10:35`	9
	Well I tried all three of the above addresses and none work. What else could I be doing wrong? Ultrix V4.3, MSU V1.1, Hubwatch V1.0 (I think) thanks ort1
116.4	Update your bridge to 3.0	EMDS::SEAVER	LENAC Net Mgnt Mktg 223-4573	`Fri Jan 08 1993 12:27`	4
	try updating your bridge to V3.0. Bridge version shows up on screen when you connect to it (MOP or from agent)
116.5	Dec Bridge 90 Need V3.0 FEPROM Version	ANGLIN::ORTHOBER		`Sat Jan 09 1993 01:52`	4
	Yep, that was the problem. It would have been nice if hub watch would have told be that the bridge is not up to rev, maybe it simply never got that far...
116.6	Will put bridge code check in the manuals	EMDS::SEAVER	LENAC Net Mgnt Mktg 223-4573	`Tue Jan 19 1993 10:23`	3
	NIce, but we do not have time in the schedule to do this at the moement. I will notify the writers to put this in the manual as a step in setup and also as part of the what to do if problems section.
