3003.0. "Mixed/weird config for HUBwatch" by LEMAN::PAIVA (Hawkeye - Network Support @GEO) Fri Nov 24 1995 04:48

    Hi!
    
      I've had to configure the following equipment for HUBwatch for
    Windows 4.1 and would like to get your advice:
    
      One floor: HUB900MS with 1 DECbridge 90FL, 2 rep 90T+, 2 srv90L+,
                 1 rep 90TS and 1 agent 90
    
      Other floors: HUB90 with 1 DECbridge 90FL and reps 90T/T+ and srvs
                    90L+ and 1 srv90M
      
      All firmwares have been updated to DCF 4.1.1 (not 4.1.2 yet 8-) ).
    The IP address of the MAM module has been deleted (because the 900MS is
    managed by the agent 90) and the 90TS has an IP address so that I can
    access it directly (otherwise it's not recognised by HUBwatch).
      The drawbacks of this configuration are:
      - I can't access HUB900 in one shot, ie. I'll see that the 90TS is
        not recognised through the agent 90. On the other hand, if I use
        the 90Ts to provide IP services to HUB900 then I can't access the 90FL
        and the srvs 90L+.
      - As I don't have an IP address for the MAM, I'll have to change that
        when willing to do a firmware upgrade.
    
      The question: Is it possible to get a better configuration with the
    equipment the customer has (ie. without the mentioned drawbacks)?
    
      Thanks.

 why ? 
 normally you can access 90L+ and 90FL in a HUB900 using the Decagent90
 try to create a new community for the 90FL and 90L+ and then
  manage them using Decagent90 as a proxy agent for 90L+ 90FL but managing
  the hub900 directly with 90TS

3003.2Want to see them all togetherLEMAN::PAIVAHawkeye - Network Support @GEOFri Nov 24 1995 09:3415
    Jean-Yves,
    
      I suppose that if the modules in the hub 900 are managed by the agent
    90 (in a hub90) via the bridge, then I won't be able to access the 2
    reps 90T+ and the rep 90TS.
      What I'm trying to do here is to get the "less bad" solution, ie.
    having a view of all the modules of the hub900 except one (the 90TS):
    when I say view, I mean complete management of the module.
      Of course, if somebody sees a solution in which I can see them all,
    I'll very pleased (that's why I posted this note) 8-)
    
      Cheers,

 yes but you can manage the DEChub900 using TS as IP services Device
 and using the DECAgent90 as a proxy agent for modules unmanageable
 by the TS

OK. The advantage of your solution is that firmware upgrade is ready, but I
    wanted to group modules as much as possible (I was only leaving rep
    90TS alone). I think I prefer your solution as it will be asle free
    (regarding future upgrades) but I'll ask the customer which one he
    prefers.
    
    Thanks.
