| 151.1 | The 90TL is not a good hub citizen | KALI::GAUDET | | Tue Feb 09 1993 08:50 | 12 |
| Chris, I'm not sure what you mean by "latest software" ... V1.0 of
HUBwatch does not support the 90TL. V1.0 of the agent firmware will
recognize the existence of a 90TL in the hub. However, there's a
problem with the 90TL in that once its image is loaded it no longer
talks on the backplane of the hub. This means that it "disappears"
from the managed environment.
If you're running a field test version of HUBwatch which supports the
90TL, you'll have to add it manually with agent polling disabled.
That's the only way the 90TL will stay in the agent's view of the hub.

| Hello Chris,
This is just for your Info: Be careful with BRIDGE V3.0. There is a problem
with V3.0 in the spanning tree. We had it here by two customers. There is
already a V3.1 version, with fixes the problem.
The problem is: after a topology change the bridge 90 30 stops to forward data
for 30 seconds and so you loose all your LAT connections, for example.

This is unfortunately the case. For some very legitimate techincal
reasons related to limitations of the hardware (which I don't want to
go into here), the current software for DS90TL does not respond to the
backplane management messages. The firmware, however, still does.
This restriction will be fixed in new software releases, starting in
March. At least for DS90TLs upgraded to 4 MB of memory. Plans to
put this fix in the 1 MB software are still pending.
Regards,
Dave

| 151.4 | This is how you manage a DS90TL w/HUBwatch | SLINK::HOOD | Just add water | Wed Feb 17 1993 17:34 | 12 |
| To manage a DS90TL in a backplane, do the following:
* Select the appropriate "empty" slot in HUBwatch.
* HUBwatch "Configuration" pull-down menu. "Add" Option.
* Enter the name, type, MAC, IP adrs, community info.
* Make sure "Enable Status Polling" pushbotton is OFF! (out position).
* Hit OK
From this point on, the DECserver90tl will continue to live in the agent's
slot table and be manageable by HUBwatch.

| 151.5 | Need field test versions of software | EMDS::SEAVER | Bill Seaver, HUBwatch Mktg | Fri Feb 26 1993 09:35 | 3 |
| You also need field test versions of the agent software and HUBwatch to
do what was suggested in the previous note. See
EMDS::MANAGMENT:VMS_LAUNCH.TXT for a complete explaination.
