2477.0. "Help with 900EF and 900MX Pleeease" by ATHINA::KARVOUNIS_A (Who knows KWITERBELYAKIN ? ) Thu Jul 06 1995 05:07

    Hello out there.
    
    	I have a DECswith 900EF and a DEChub ONE, with this combination can
    I use the switch as a standalone repeater? What I like to do is put 
    two unix systems on two of the utp ports of the switch and both of them 
    will be able to communicate together.
    
    	Is this possible without any configuration of the switch with
    hubwatch ? 
    
    	Also I will to ask if I can use this switch or a concetrator 900
    for the SNMP agent in a HUB 900.
    
    I have a customer (STET) that bought two hubs 900. In one of them they 
    have one 900EF switch and three 900MX consertrators, on the other they
    have one 900GM repeater and two 900MX consertrators. They want to put
    on this FDDI ring all of their systems.  I tried to use on one of them
    the 900EF switch as an agent in the hubwatch but the hubwatch came back
    with the message not response from the agent. Because I am new to some 
    of this could someone help me.
    
    
    	Thank you in Advance.

	>> Is this possible without any configuration of the switch with hubwatch ? yes, if you use the correct cable , you must have a crossover cable between alphastation and DECswitch >> Also I will to ask if I can use this switch or a concetrator 900 >> for the SNMP agent in a HUB 900. yes these two components works as IP services for HUB900 JYP

	You might want to try to ping the in-band address for the hub when you get the "no response from agent" message. Remember that the switch or concentrator is not acting as SNMP agent for the DEChub 900. It has its own internal agent. md

	How do you plan to connect the 900GM ethernet repeater in the second hub if all you have in that hub are fddi concentrators? You need a 900ef to bridge between the ethernet repeater and fddi. Scott
2477.4	A mistake	ATHINA::KARVOUNIS_A	Who knows KWITERBELYAKIN ?	`Fri Jul 07 1995 06:49`	8
	I am sorry I made a mistake. The 900GM is going to go into the hub with the 900EF and the two 900MX's and in the other hub will be only two 900MX consetrators. Thanks to you all for the replies.
