1648.0. "DECrepeater 90F* Errors" by DELBOY::PURNELLR ( Life, it's not what I thought it was !) Wed Nov 02 1994 11:16

    
    I have a customer who wants a description of the errors detected by the
    DECrepeater 90F* products at a port level. Do we have a concises
    description of these errors, or alternatively a document that describes
    the relevant MIB extensions for the product ?

    The DECrepeater 90FL and DECrepeater 90FA products can not detect/count any
    errors at the port level. They can report whether or not a port is
    auto-partitioned and the auto-partition reason (e.g. excessive
    collisions, jabber, etc.), but they cannot count things like crc
    errors, short events, runts, etc., on a per port basis.  The Basic
    Groups of the IETF repeater MIB (RFC 1516) and Digital's extended repeater
    MIB outline the DECrepeaters' 90FL/90FA capabilities.
    
    The DECrepeater 90FS, on the other hand, can detect and count a wide
    range of errors on a per-port basis.  These are fully outlined in the
    Monitor Group of the IETF repeater MIB.  The DECrepeater 90FS's
    Installation and Configuration Guide lists exactly which MIBs the
    repeater supports.

1648.2Extra MIB infoNETCAD::PAGLIARORich Pagliaro, Hub Products GroupWed Nov 02 1994 12:2619
    For the record, the currently shipping version of the DECagent 90 uses
    the "DECagent 90 and DEChub 90 Vendor MIB Document for SNMP V1
    Implementation" to manage DECrepeaters 90FL, 90FA.  Specifically, this
    MIB's drpt90 Group outlines the repeaters' management capabilities.
    
    The DEChub 900 Hub Manager uses the IETF repeater MIB (RFC 1516) and
    "Digital Equipment Corporation's DEChub 900 Extensions to the
    Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE 802.3 Repeater Devices" to
    manage DECrepeaters 90FL, 90FA. As stated in .1, the hub manager
    supports the Basic Groups of both MIBs, and the IETF repeater MIB's
    Address Tracking group on behalf of these repeaters.
    
    The DECrepeater 90FS has its own embedded SNMP agent. This product
    supports MIB II, Ethernet MIB, DEChub 900 Public Common MIB, IETF
    repeater MIB, and Digital's repeater MIB extensions.
