1356.0. "DETMI Managed in DEChub90." by BIGUN::WULFF () Mon Aug 29 1994 09:36

When managing a DETMI in DEChub90 without the agent, how is it done?

Do add the DETMI in a similar way as the DECserver?

Does this mean that there is no auto-discovery without an agent or DECbridge90? 

Thanks,

Ole.

	Ole... If by "agent" you mean the DECagent 90, then it is not necessary. The DETMI has its own internal SNMP agent which you can address directly from HUBwatch. The DECagent 90 does not manage the DETMI at all. The only thing a DECagent buys you if you have a DETMI in the same hub is the auto-discovery feature for displaying the hub view (provided you specify the DECagent from HUBwatch instead of the DETMI). ...Roger...

	Re: .1 Thanks for the reply. I understand that the DETMI has its own SNMP agent, and so do the DEChub900 modules, but whilst the DEChub900 modules are plugged in the DEChub900 backplane they are managed by the HUB agent and when using Hubwatch you can get a view of all the modules in the hub. How would I achieve the same functionality if I was to use a dechub90 that had DETMI's and DEFMI's installed in the backplane. Thanks.
1356.3	DECagent 90 has it now!	ROGER::GAUDET	Because the Earth is 2/3 water	`Tue Aug 30 1994 15:03`	12
	Ole... Using HUBwatch V3.0 or higher, you can get the same functionality in the DEChub 90 using a DECagent 90 running V2.1.3 code. Simply insert the 90TS and 90FS modules into their desired slots, assign each an IP address via their setup port INSTALLATION MENU, and bring up HUBwatch using the DECagent's IP address. You can then double click on the 90TS and 90FS from the HUBwatch hub view and HUBwatch will use the on-board agent to manage the device. It will probably take 20 seconds or so for the DECagent to "learn" the IP addresses from the 90TS and 90FS after you assign them, but after that you should be off and running. ...Roger...
