	Hi,


	I have a simple DEChub900 configuration with a DECrepeater 900 as IP 	
	service for the Hub Manager.
	I.e. via the HUBmam console IP address for In bound is specified
	for Slot 7 (slot of the repeater).	
	No Out Bound address are specified, there is also no IP address defined 
	for the repeater it self.


	When PNV discover the Hub it build a specific point-to-point segment 	
	with a child  submap containing a repeater icone connected to a ring.
	Looking at the description of the object (IP map) I have 

Interface Status IP address   Network Mask  Link Address  Interface Type
Hub        Up   16.183.32.230 255.255.255.0  <None>       SLIP (Serial Line IP)

	Looking at the the interfaces, they are 9 with
        ifDescr.1 : DISPLAY STRING- (ascii):  OBM Port
	 ...............................................
	ifDescr.9 : DISPLAY STRING- (ascii):  Hub Slot 8

	and 
        ifType.1 : INTEGER: slip
        ........................
        ifType.9 : INTEGER: slip
	These of course are read-only variables
	
	Is it a way to change that configuration, I should expect to see my Hub
        connected to my Ethernet segment rather than on a apart one?

	Thanks,
	Robert

	No, there's no way to change this. The connection from the Hub Manager to the repeater is actually a serial line (the hub management channel); the repeater is forwarding IP packets for the hub manager from the ethernet to that serial line. If you look at the ifTable for the repeater, you'll see the ethernet connection. You can do that either by assigning an address to the repeater (redirect the hub setup port to the repeater slot to access the setup menu of the repeater), or using the 'slot community' for the repeater with the IP address of the hub (ie 'public-7' if the hub community is 'public' and the repeater is in slot 7).
