1442.0. "OBM config" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Mon Sep 19 1994 09:34

Is the following config workable, using SLIP thru the OBM port.

DEChub 900MS
OBM port IP address	   : 153.128.128.10
HUB IP address using slot 8: 153.128.128.1
Slot 8 conc IP address     : 153.128.128.8
PC with Hubwatch	   : 153.128.128.10
Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 for PC

The PC is connected to the OBM port directly, thru the COM port.
Must the PC IP address match the OBM IP address in this case?

I tried using different address for the OBM and PC, and HUBwatch only
gives a blank chassis screen, without power supply, modules.  Is this
normal.

1442.1IPs should be differentNETCAD::DRAGONMon Sep 19 1994 10:006
    
    Raj,
    
    	The hub OBM and PC should have different IP addresses.

1442.2Only blank hub shows up!!!ZPOVC::RAMARAJMon Sep 19 1994 11:5415
    Bob,
    
    I tried with 2 different IP addresses, but non of the modules or
    power supply show on the screen.  Only a blank multiswitch shows up.
    I have 5 concentrators sitting in the hub.
    
    If I run HW with ethernet card on the PC, thru a FDDI/eth bridge and
    use the In band address, everything is ok.
    
    Any idea what could be the problem. Does the In Band and Outband
    address need to be different subnets?

    Raj,
    
      The In band and OBM addresses do not need to be in different subnets.
      You might try (if you haven't) rebooting your PC and see if that
      cures the problem.

    Also,  make sure that the speed of the OBM port on the HUB matches the 
    speed of the serial port on the PC
