3037.0. "Unsupported GS/FDDI features with HUBwatch?" by HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONG () Thu Dec 07 1995 04:35

    *** Cross posted to HUB_MGNT & GIGASWITCH conferences ***
    
    This is a follow up to entries #2010.4 and #3034 in conference
    HUB_MGNT.
    
    We encountered real difficulty because HUBwatch for WIndows V4.1.1
    cannot set all supported GIGAswitch/FDDI variables, some have already
    been mentioned in #2010.4, for ease of reference I have included them
    below:
    
            - rate limiting
            - ability to dump fwd db to a file
            - M-port support
    
    #3034 described problem of setting M-port which surfaced until
    equipment was delivered to customer and was installing it. Without
    knowing these limitation before selling 4 GIGAswitch/FDDI to the
    account, customer expected that HUBwatch for Windows V4.x can
    set all supported features.
    
    Now, we will be asked to explain if any other GIGAswitch/FDDI features
    are not settable from HUBwatch, hence this follow up notes entry.
    
    Please post a list of features that are un-supported by current
    HUBwatch, and any plans of support in future versions.

    Faraday,
    
    	Current plans call for HUBwatch V5.0 to add:
    
           o M-Port Enable/Disable Support
           o FFDT (FDX) Enable/Disable Support
           o Hunt Group Support
    
        Rate Limiting and Forwarding DB Dump will be added to the wish list.
    
        One area which is not supported is AGL-2 (ATM Linecard).
    
    Regards,
    Bob

     Spanning tree variables, port traffic statistics , changing the
     Read/Write community and  traps could be very useful as well.
    
     thanks

3037.3fwd db dump IS supportedNETCAD::IACOBONEFri Dec 08 1995 11:059
    Dumping the GIGAswitch/FDDI forwarding database to a file IS supported
    in HUBwatch v4.1.1 for Windows. Just hit the FILE button in the
    forwarding database view.
    
    Keep in mind that this takes a while for a large databases.
