1401.0. "DECagent needed in DEChub 900 to manage DECbridge ?" by ADOV01::BOUCHER (Reece Boucher) Mon Sep 12 1994 04:03

    Greetings,
    
    I have had a call from a customer who has purchased a DEChub 900 and
    some associated modules, including a DECbridge 90FL (to connect to a
    thick ethernet backbone).  He wants to be able to manage the DECbridge
    90FL, but does not have a DECagent 90.  Is this a firm requirement ?  
    
    I gave him a copy of the HUBwatch V2.0 demo, and that features a
    DECbridge 90FL installed and seemingly no DECagent 90 installed, but it
    shows management capabilities.  If a DECagent is required then this
    seems to be misleading, as the customer is using this as a "beat up"
    point.
    
    Clarification would be nice.

1401.1	SNMP/MOP translator required	PRSSOS::PEYRACHE	Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France	`Mon Sep 12 1994 06:45`	9
	hi, >> but does not have a DECagent 90. Is this a firm requirement ? Yes, it's mandatory ,for managing 90FL under snmp ( HUBwatch) you must have a proxy agent as Decagent90. Jean-Yves
1401.2	RBMS not MOP	ROGER::GAUDET	Because the Earth is 2/3 water	`Mon Sep 12 1994 11:37`	5
	Just a nit, but you need a SNMP <-> RBMS proxy agent (which the DECagent 90 is). The DECbridge 90/90FL does talk MOP but in-band management by the DECagent 90 is accomplished with RBMS. ...Roger...

	Note that you need a DECagent 90 to manage the DECbridge90 (either flavor), but that the agent can be anywhere on the LAN - it need not be in the same hub.
1401.4	Retour de Vacances...	CLPR01::PEYRACHE	Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France	`Tue Sep 13 1994 07:37`	8
	RE:2 Roger, Sorry for this typo but i come back from holydays sure it's RBMS and not MOP Jean-Yves
1401.5	International acronyms?	ROGER::GAUDET	Because the Earth is 2/3 water	`Tue Sep 13 1994 10:19`	6
	No problem Jean-Yves. Unfortunately, Digital's acronyms are not internationally friendly. How do you translate "Maintenance Operations Protocol" (MOP) and "Remote Bridge Management Software" (RBMS) into French? I doubt they would end up with the same acronym after translation. :-) ...Roger...
1401.6	no-anonymous alco.....	PADNOM::PEYRACHE	Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France	`Tue Sep 13 1994 12:39`	9
	Roger, it'snt a translation problem it's a memory failure in my head, may be due to overload of couples of drink... Jean-Yves "beer lovers"
1401.7	Off on a tangent	ROGER::GAUDET	Because the Earth is 2/3 water	`Tue Sep 13 1994 14:11`	9
	Ah, so you killed a few brain cells while on holiday, eh? No sympathy for self-inflicted injury. :-) Last time I was on your side of the pond (Paris in '86) I drank a few Kronenbourgs. My guess is that you know of some better brews than that! But I digress... ...Roger...
