All DECrepeater900 series products have an SNMP agent. Each may be managed
standalone or thru the hub manager. Same for the 900MX products.
SNMPv2 is not supported, nor are there currently any plans to support it.
(Send cards and letters to product management if SNMPv2 is important to
your customers.)
We support no "other management standards".
> 2)what SNMP mibs does the product support?
DECrepeater900s:
o MIB-II (system, interface, arp, ip, udp, snmp. No tcp or egp.)
o rfc1516 (The repeater MIB.)
o rfc1398 or rfc1284. (The "Ethernet MIB.)
o dec-hub900-erptr-mib-v1-1 (The extended repeater MIB. Contains
extensions to the repeater MIB. Includes monitoring and control
of such features as repeater security, dual port redundancy
extended MAU information, etc.)
o dec-hub900-common-mib-v1-1 (A MIB common to 900 modules. This
is also a "private MIB".)
DECconcentrator900MX:
o MIB-II (system, interface, arp, ip, udp, snmp. No tcp or egp.)
o rfc1512 (The FDDI MIB.)
o dec-vendor-mib-elanext-vx.x (Various private extensions.)
o dec-hub900-common-mib-v1-1 (A MIB common to 900 modules. This
is also a "private MIB".)
DECbridge900MX:
o MIB-II (system, interface, arp, ip, udp, snmp. No tcp or egp.)
o rfc1512 (The FDDI MIB.)
o rfc1493 (The Bridge MIB.)
o dec-vendor-mib-elanext-vx.x (Various private extensions.)
o dec-hub900-common-mib-v1-1 (A MIB common to 900 modules. This
is also a "private MIB".)

Too nebulous for me to answer. ;-)

Yes, all 900 products support private MIBs. (You might want to get a
copy of the extended repeater, vendor, and common mibs from
gatekeeper.dec.com /pub/DEC/hub900/mibs.)

Any third party product that supports SNMP can be used to take advantage
of the extra functionality supported in the private mibs. Of course,
HUBwatch makes it *much, much* easier to use the more sophisticated
features like security.
