543.0. "DEChub900 management questions!" by EEMELI::RUOTILA () Tue Dec 07 1993 07:26

    
    
    	Hi!
    
    I would like to ask few questions about DEChub 900 management.
    If I understand right I need DECrepeater 900 TM to do inband 
    management from my NMS.
    
    	A) If I have LAN environment with 30 DEChub900, do I need
    	   DECrepeater 900TM module in every DEChub900 to manage
    	   them inband with HUBwatch?
    
    	B) Do I have to connect the NMS-station directly to the 
    	   DECrepeater 900TM port?

    A) Yes, you need a module in each hub that is capable of providing IP
    services to the hub manager; at this time, that means a
    DECrepeater900TM.
    
    B) No, the NMS can be anywhere on your network as long as IP packets
    can reach the hub from it...
    
    It is also possible (though a bit of a kludge) to use a terminal server
    port (DECserver 90TL, 90M, or 900TM) connected to the OBM port of the
    hub manager to make the connection.  The repeater is much better if you
    have it.  Note that this is _NOT_ out-of-band management, since packets
    go in-band to the terminal server.
