1167.0. "Managing 2 hubs using HUBwatch V2" by XKOV01::RAJESHPRABHU () Tue Jun 28 1994 01:28

Configuration  Clarifiction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the configuration at the customer place.

There are 2 DEChub 9OOMS.
Hub 1 contains DECrepeater 900TM. The management station is connected to Hub 1. 
Management station is loaded with DOS V6, Windows V3.1,HUBwatch V2.0.

Hub 2 contains DECrepeater 900TM. Hub 2 needs to be connected to the Hub 1. Both
of them is managed using HUBwatch workstation.

Is it possible to manage the Hub 2 from the management station in this 
configuration ?
If so, how ?
If not what is to be done ?

Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.
   Rajesh

	There is no limit in HUBwatch as to how many hubs, hub modules, or GIGAswitches you can manage. Tom Hood HUBwarp

	Sorry for the delay in getting back to my doubts. In re: .1 > but an Ip address of HUB2 and start Hubwatch as well with this address What is the meaning of above ? In re: .2 > There is no limit in HUBwatch as to how many hubs, hub modules, or > GIGAswitches you can manage. Is this true for any distance between the hubs? The hubs are seperated by more than 200 meters. Thanks, Rajesh

	re:-1 please draw back a little picture for your net > but an Ip address of HUB2 and start Hubwatch as well with this address What is the meaning of above ? Simple Response because topic is very large... Hubwatch works under SNMP management protocols, you must put a Ip address on all hubs that's you want to manage (SNMP works with IP protocol). Jean-Yves

	re .3: > > There is no limit in HUBwatch as to how many hubs, hub modules, or > > GIGAswitches you can manage. > > Is this true for any distance between the hubs? > The hubs are seperated by more than 200 meters. 200 meters is very close. I've managed hubs in Singapore from my office here in Littleton Massachusetts, USA. SNMP runs over IP which is a routed protocol. Obviously, if you use HUBwatch (or any other SNMP manager) to manage an SNMP agent on the other side of the world it gets quite slow. But managing anything within the same metropolitan area will be just fine. Tom Hood HUBwhy?
