2790.0. "DEFMI and DEChub90 backplane management" by VNABRW::SCHMOELZER_R () Mon Sep 25 1995 16:58

    Hello out there,
    
    I have installed a DEChub 90 with 3 Repeater 90T+ and a Repeater 90FS
    which should be the agent. After setting up the IP address and the
    configuration to "DEChub 90 single" and "backplane management" i
    started Hubwatch 4.1.1. And, surprise -> I saw a DEChub 90 Backplane
    with a Repeater 90FS but NO Repeater 90T+. These slots were empty.
    
    HUBwatch is 4.1.1
    DEFMI-NA is HW=v1, RO=v01.02, SW=2.0.0
    DEFMI is in slot 8, the 90T+ are in 5,6,7
    DEHUB-AX is rev. B01 (as stated in the release notes)
    DEFMI is configured to manage a single DEChub 90 via backplane
    PC was connected to a 90T+ 
    
    NO change with several "Ctrl-R" refreshes or restarts.
    
    Is there another bug in the FW 2.0.0 of the DEFMI?
    Anyone tried this before?
    
    regards
    robert

	By "backplane management" you mean you Enabled the HUB Mastership Mode under the Module Specific Options?
2790.2	DEFMI and Hub Mastership	VNABRW::SCHMOELZER_R		`Tue Sep 26 1995 03:20`	3
	Yes
2790.3	DEFMI at hw B01+ for mgmt	SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE	Humpty Dumpty was pushed	`Thu Oct 05 1995 22:20`	8
	The DECrepeater 90FS itself has to be at hardware revision B01 or higher to manage other repeaters (this is in the release notes). I tried this with a DEFMI at h/w rev A01, and whilst I could upgrade firmware to v2, there weren't any module-specific options to configure bus mastership. Jeannie
2790.4	FS manageable in slots 1-6?	SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE	Humpty Dumpty was pushed	`Mon Oct 23 1995 23:05`	9
	I have found that if you use a DECrepeater 90FS in a DEChub 90, but not in slots 7 or 8, then you cannot manage it using SNMP, or ping it etc. Why is this? I thought that everything should work except for the AUI ... Since you can manage the DECrepeater 90TS in any slot, why isn't the 90FS SNMP management the same? Any ideas? Jeannie
2790.5	Rev. F01	NETRIX::"[email protected]"	Robert Schmoelzer	`Tue Oct 31 1995 08:46`	11
	Jeannie, I have talked to the customer regarding the Hardware Rev. of the DEFMI. The customer told me Rev. F01 which he read from the back of the module. Now, IMHO F01 is higher than B01 but actually the management does not seem to work. Can you or anyone else verify this? regards robert [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
