I can't launch a telnet session to a DECswitch 900EF/MP neither from
"Physical view" nor from "LAN Interconnect" windows. When I double-click
on its icon, HW tries to telnet a MAM address!
900EF/MP, its community, real IP and MAC addresses are in the agent list
("Community/Manage Table").
Single-click on the icon and "Community/Manage Current" shows the community
"public-7" (900EF/MP is in slot 7) and IP address of a MAM instead of "public"
(or whatever I want after configuring snmp on the brouter) and IP address
of its Ethernet interface connected to a thin backplane channel.
When I make the DECswitch agent current, HW shows the module, "Community/
Manage Current" shows proper community and IP address, double-click
launches a telnet session with the brouter -- it works as it should do
but only from that window.
Is it a bug?

It is a known problem that will be fixed in HUBwatch 5.0. What happens with the routers is that HUBwatch will attempt to use the highest numbered IP address of the device. If that is unreachable from your workstation, it defaults to the MAM. For SNMP, this is the correct thing to do. For TELNET, well, it's lame. But, as should be mentioned in the HUBwatch release notes, TELNET windows are a best-effort thing, not guaranteed to work. It gets fixed in V5.0 because that's when HUBwatch starts doing "real" management for routers. It wasn't fixed in V4.1 because TELNET is a poor excuse for real management, and the simple workaround is to go to an extra DECterm or (ugh) DOS window somewhere and type "TELNET n.n.n.n".

| 2774.3 | DS900EF/MP to backplane connectivity pb | MOSCOW::FELIZHANKO | Tue Sep 19 1995 06:46 | 12 | |
Can't configure more than 4 backplane connections of a DS900EF/MP using HW V4.1. This is because "LAN Interconnect/Configure/Expand" doesn't work. HW tries to telnet some mysterious IP address instead of displaying expanded picture of the 900EF/MP. Usual brouter's icon doesn't have enough room to arrange more than 4 connections to backplane channels when using non-expanded view. Hope it will be fixed in V5.0 Alexander | |||||
