2561.0. "2Qs on 900CP/TP mibs" by HGOVC::RICHARDLAM () Wed Jul 26 1995 07:04

A customer finds the following problems/inconsistencies in the 900CP, are 
they 'fixed' ?

1. DECRepeater 900CP sometimes fail to partition open ports.
 
   As indicated by LEDs on the module's front panel and HubWatch 4.01, 
   sometimes some open ports (not terminated by loads) are not 
   partitioned and show a state of "online".  Since the repeater fails to 
   detect and partition these ports OCCASSIONALLY, the customer worries 
   that the repeater will fail to filter out garbage from bad ports. 

 
2. Incorrect information reported from SNMP

   HP OpenView MIB browser was used to browse the Repeater MIB of 
   DECRepeater 900CP and 900TP.  What the customer wants to do is to 
   gather connected workstation's MAC addresses from the repeater MIB 
   objects.  However, the object erptrAddrDBPortGroupIndex (id: 
   .1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.11.5.1.1.2.3.1.1.2), which identifies the group 
   containing the port on which this entry's MAC address was seen, and 
   the object erptrAddrDBPortIndex (id:  
   .1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.11.5.1.1.2.3.1.1.3), which identifies the port 
   within the group on which entry's MAC address was seen, report 
   incorrect values using the MIB browser.
