455.0. "does HUBwatch for windows manage DEC fddi bridges" by BBIV02::XFMV01::VISHWANATH () Thu Oct 28 1993 02:41

Hi

My query

Hubwatch for windows come with the ability to manage elements which support 
management information base II ( MIB II) as defined by the Internet Standard
RFC 1213. It also includes support for Network element which implement the 
following proposed MIB II group:

RFC 1286  Bridge MIB
RFC 1316  Character Stream device MIB
RFC 1317  RS 232 interface type MIB
RFC 1368  IEEE 802.3 Repeater MIB

Does this mean that it can monitor, configure and control DECbridge 51x/52x/6xx 
series whose SNMP management supports MIB II. Bridge MIB, FDDI MIB and 
DEC's vendor MIB that includes extensions to the others.

Also since FDDI Bridge series does not have a out of band managemnet port, 
the only way to manage the bridge would be through a Management station ????

Thanks

HUBwatch only supports DEChub devices.
455.2Clarify the version of HUBwatch to which you refer - there are differences NAC::FORRESTThu Dec 23 1993 16:3513
	Vishy, I assume you are reading the HUBwatch V1.0 or V1.1 SPD.
	It has customized screens for the standard MIBs listed. It does 
	not have a MIB compiler however, and thus does not support any 
	DEC specific extensions, other than for the DEChub 90 devices.

	HUBwatch for Windows Version 2.0 will manage only DEChub devices, 
	but will manage both 90 and 900.
	
	With Version 3.0 and HP OpenView for Windows, I believe you can 
	then fully do what you are asking.
