1529.0. "HUBwatch for Win V3.1 problem managing Brouter" by KAOFS::P_SAVOIE () Wed Oct 05 1994 12:04

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to use HUBwatch for windows V3.1 to manage a standalone
    DECbrouter 90T1 and I get the message "No response from agent". In the
    file hw_agent.dat I have the following entry:
    
    16.154.112.1 brouter "public" 5 2 aa-00-04-00-ff-e5 BROUTER 
    
    For the brouter, show config shows:
    
    snmp-server community public RW
    
    At the "agent specified: screen I enter the Ip address and the
    community name (public). I also tried using just the agent name with
    the same results.
    
    What am I missing here, I have a customer that called me reporting the
    same problem. I have no problem managing to the same brouter with
    hubwatch V3.0 for VMS. I have no problem managing a DECserver 90TL with
    HUBwatch for windows.
    
    any replies are appreciated,

1529.1	DECbrouter is not agent.	HGOVC::SIUKEUNGLEE		`Wed Oct 05 1994 13:29`	14
	Hi, The DECbrouter is not a snmp agents. So you get "No respone from agent ". The DECserver 90Tl have a agent software build in. If you want to managements the DECbrouter 90, you may need to have a DECagents on their networks. Bye! David HKMCS
1529.2	yes it has an agent, ragou (its in there)	KAOFS::P_SAVOIE		`Wed Oct 05 1994 13:50`	8
	re 1529.1 Dave, In previous notes and in all previous technical articles on hubwatch it says that the brouter as an agent built-in, to prove it, I connected to it using HUBwatch for VMS V3.0, no problem. Regards, Paul
1529.3	little b.....g	PADNOM::PEYRACHE	Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France	`Wed Oct 05 1994 14:55`	5
	I think, it's a little "no wish issue" for the current field test version of Hubwatch for windows 3.1 , look at notes 1405.6 jean-yves
1529.4	Just for the record...	SLINK::HOOD	I'd rather be at the Penobscot	`Wed Oct 05 1994 15:46`	13
	I just want to repeat .2... The DECbrouter 90's DO have an integral SNMP agent. In fact, it is the only SNMP agent available for the brouters. (Neither the DEChub 900 manager nor the DECagent 90 can proxy for the DECbrouter 90's.) To manage the DECbrouters, you must assign them an IP address and also must enable SNMP in them. The problem in .0 is a bug in that version of HUBwatch. Tom Hood HUBwatch brouter guy.
