2056.0. "MANAGING DECHUB900 WITHOUT HUBWATCH" by ANNECY::WHARMBY_M () Tue Feb 28 1995 06:23

Hello


Our customer would like to monitor a DEChub900 without using Hubwatch yet. He has an HP OpenView Management
station, and would like to be able to monitor traffic counters and receive hub traps on  their SNMP manager.

The hub only has DECrepeaters installed (90FA and 90C) and dual power supply.

What are the specific MIB files, I should provide to the customer to manage this configuration ? and where can I
get those MIB files from ?

I have seen some DEChub900 MIBs on our Polycenter Netview station but not any for the two repeaters mentionned
above. Also, I'd rather give the customer only what is useful for his configuration, so if I can get a list of the
suitable MIBs for the configuration above, that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Every MIB for every DEChub product is available via Internet ftp
on gatekeeper.dec.com.

Elsewhere in this conference is the exact locations and names for
each mib.  There's also readme files on gatekeeper.

And why don't they want to use HUBwatch?  (Serious question - please answer)

This an integration project with specific SW developments which we sold to the customer. In fact, we convinced 
them to use a DEChub for security reasons mainly (Ethernet segmentation) when we built the configuration. The
management part was handled seperatly because they required an overall SNMP management solution and there was no
special focus on network management. But we will propose and demonstrate Hubwatch after the acceptance but we
cannot push it right now for various reasons. I think they will be interested in buying it before deploying the
project.

Best regards
Marc

    I don't beleive that you will be able to manage this configuration at
    all, unless you specify a module with IP services.  Unless my documents
    are out of date, neither the 90FA, nor the 90C repeater can supply the
    Hub900 MAM with an IP address.    I would swap the 90FA repeater for at
    least one 90FS repeater.   The 90FS should provide what you need.

2056.6CONFIGURATION GUIDEANNECY::WHARMBY_MFri Apr 07 1995 09:1438
    Hello,
    
    To my surprise, this is what I discovered a bit late. However, the
    customer is going to order new configurations and I shall be able to
    swap modules.
    
    I need two things:
    
    o be able to configure the Hub with an IP address for in-band
    management,
    
    o be able to manage the modules mentionned above with Hubwatch.
    
    I understand I need a DECagent 90 to be able to manage the modules
    above. Also I need a module able to provide the in-band management
    port.
    
    
    Apart from management of the hub, the configuration is intended for 
    reliability of the Ethernet cabling. For instance, we have 2 redundant 
    servers which I want to place on seperate modules. The hub has redundant 
    power supplies. What else do I need to care for, in this case ? How can
    I use redundant ports ?
    
    Where can I find all these configuration details ? Architecture
    information ? I need something like a configuration guide more than a
    catalogue of products.
    
    Best regards,

You do NOT need a DECagent 90 to manage repeaters in a DEChub 900!!!

The only modules you need a DECagent 90 in a DEChub 900 for are:
	- DECbridge 90
	- DECbridge 90FL
	- DECserver 90L
	- DECserver 90L+
