855.0. "Loss of fonctionnality in Hubwatch V2.0 for DOS." by PRSSOS::PEYRACHE (Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France) Wed Mar 23 1994 06:48

   hi,

 Several customers used Hubwatch V1.1 ( dos version) for managing Dechub90
module's and other Snmp devices using MIB access menu for these purpose.

 in V2 of Hubwatch for Dos  this functionnality seems to be missing/unsupported.

 how to explain that choice to customer ?? 

  aka Upgrade Version = loss of functionnality

 thanks for any comments/feedback

 Jean-Yves

855.1	Upgrade version = different functions.	SLINK::HOOD	I'd rather be surfing	`Wed Mar 23 1994 10:41`	12
	Upgrade version = different functions. Full support of DEChub 900 backplane. Greater degree of managment for hub devices. Compatable upgrade path for future hub devices (like FDDI and the new bridges and routers). Management software written by the same engineering group (heck, the same company!) as produces the DEChub products. Fully supported software that Digital is committed to further enhance and improve. To fill in the missing function, customers can get an SNMP browser, available from a variety of sources, including public domain software. Tom Hood HUBwatch

855.3	temporary loss of functionality	NAC::FORREST		`Wed Mar 23 1994 18:31`	5
	We will return the lost functionality with V3, which will launch from HP OpenView for Windows. HUBwatch and OpenView will be separately orderable, as we cannot possibly sell OpenView for $495.
