285.0. "repeater managment " by TMAWKO::PRESSLEY (pin heads are people too...) Wed Jun 23 1993 15:36

Since our repeaters do not have the ability to show statistics by port until
the decrepeater 900's are available would the following be an alternative?

Install the packet monitor (when available) and via hubwatch software the 
network manager can see if excessive traffic is being generated by a 
certain e-net address.  From this information the user can identify the
port and if a decrepeater 90 (in a bridge) is being used then the port
can be turned off remotely or if a dempr or detpr is being used then the 
port can be physically unplugged.

    According to what statistics you want.  The packet monitor will tell
    you good traffic by address.  If you have errors, you probably will not
    find them because many errors scrape off the address and thus nobody
    can figure out where they came from (not even the packet monitor!)
