2335.0. "PROBEwatch/OSF1 & NAT probes ??" by ZTOIS1::VISTA (Renato VISTA/SI France/ZTO) Thu Jun 01 1995 08:25

    
    
    Hi,
    
    May I use PROBEwatch for OSF1 to manage NAT EtherMeter 250/450 ? Might
    this Customer opportunity officially be supported by Digital ? Is it
    simply possible considering RMON standard RFC ? If currently not, in a
    furure release ??
    
    Thank you for your help.
    Renato

2335.2	no guarantee of interoperability	NAC::FORREST		`Fri Jun 02 1995 12:59`	12
	PROBEwatch is only guaranteed to work with DECpacketprobes and Frontier NETscout probes. You may have some success using the ALL Domain in PROBEwatch with a NETscout probe. Interoperability with other vendor's probes is not a high priority for Frontier. If Frontier were to start claiming interoperability with any vendor's probe, then it becomes Frontier's responsibility to make it work even if the other vendor interpreted parts of the standard differently. Why should they go to all this work, if the customer is going to buy probes from someone else? Most of the revenue is on the probes, not PROBEwatch.
