    Hi,
    
    My customer has a central management station (Netview) with Hubwatch 
    managing a FDDI network. The network is fully redundant such that there
    are redundant DECHub 900's, redundant repeater and redundant
    transceiver's to the workstations at the user end. All the redundant
    devices automatically fail-over incase of malfunction.
    
    1) To manage this kind of network and reflect the status of the
       redundant devices from  Netview/Hubwatch do I need to :
       - View the redundant devices as two different manageable devices (
         independent IP address), though functionally they will be one
         device. 
       - Will the failover functionality work with different IP address
         configuration.
    
    2) Can the Dechub-900 power-supply failure ( though redundant) be
       reflected on the Hub-watch console.
    
    Would appreciate any answers.
    
    Thanks in advance,
