1890.0. "Probewatch and undocumented features" by KETJE::VANDENBERG_R () Mon Jan 16 1995 03:05

	Hi,
	
	ProbeWatch 3.1 questions:

	1. What is the purpose of the Resource Manager function and how to use 	
	   it ?
	   Can we use ProbeWatch as a MIB browser ?

	2. How is it posible to customize the Host names ?
	   Most of the probe management s/w gives the possibility to customize 	
	   Physical addresses with names.
	   The only file I have found is the \usr\vendorid.nam which allows only
		   to customize the OUI (Organization Unique Identifier). Is it
possible 		   to create a host id list to improve the readability
of the 				   statistics.

	Packet Probe 2.(0 or 1) questions:

	1. Console command

	   Please gives some explaination about:

		agent_options
			mib_checks
			mib_defaults
			default_groups
			prom_boot
			flash_boot
		 	router_discovery
			slip_port
			rip
		connect_timeout
		connect_retry
		dial_out1
		dial_ou2
		disconnect_timeout
		dlc_proto
		if_options
		nvram
		software_options
 
	Thanks in advance,
	Robert

  you can't use it because the hardware necessary is not present on             
  Decpacketprobe90, you can use onlye with Frontier hardware.

  i think the purpose of that functionnality is to test/poll some
  parameters referring the Mib of devices

   Example: number of octets sends by an interface
