DEChub CONFIGURATION for SNMP MANAGEABILITY
DEChub 900, DEChub ONE, DEChub 90
PHILOSOPHY: Digital believes that SNMP management should be an integral part of
each piece of hardware and not require a separate management module. A few
older modules such as DECbridge 90s and DECserver 90L/L+ will always require
a DECagent 90.
NOTES:
Any module will work in any slot in the DEChub 900MS
Most DEChub 90 modules only attach on channel 1 (ThinWire); the
DECrepeater 90TS and 90FS are exceptions - they can attach to the
ThinWire and to the one flex channel on the upper connector.
The DEChub 900 Hub Manager proxies for all DECrepeater 90s, except the
90TS and 90FS, which have integral SNMP agents, and thus do not need
proxy agents.
The DECagent 90 and the DECbridge 90 must be in slot 7 or 8 if they are
in the DEChub 90. Only one DECbridge 90 or DECagent 90 is needed for
a set of daisy chained hubs (16 slot configuration).
DENMA-MA in-hub DECagent 90 $1,495
DENMA-xx standalone DECagent 90 $1,630
Discounts: E/U = N, OEM = G
xx = AA US/Canada/Japan; AD Denmark; AE UK; AI Italy; AK Switzerland; AT
Israel; AZ Australia; AX Central Europe; BJ India/South Africa.
Configuration Module required for management
--------------------------------------------------------------------
DEChub 900 with any module IP Services module - any 900 Enet repeater
other than | 900 switch, 900 FDDI, DECmau 900TH,
v 90TS and FS repeaters
/-----------------------\
DECmau 900TL and Requires DECmau 900TH in same hub
DECrepeater 900SL,900FL,
900TL
DECbridge 90/90FL and Requires DECagent 90 on same LAN; one
DECserver 90L/L+ in hub DECagent 90 can proxy for 16
or standalone communities (DEChub 90, daisy-chained
hub, or standalone) containing up to
48 modules
\-----------------------/
DEChub ONE with any module Full size 900 modules all have integral
SNMP Agents - no other module required
DEChub 90 with repeaters One of: DECagent 90 or DECbridge 90/90FL
other than 90TS or 90FS in that same hub or daisy-chained hub
as bus master; if DECbridge is used,
then DECagent 90 required on same LAN
DECbridge 90/90FL and Requires DECagent 90 on same LAN; one
DECserver 90L/L+ in hub DECagent 90 can proxy for 16
or standalone communities (DEChub 90, daisy-chained
hub, or standalone) containing up to
48 modules
Standalone DECrepeater 90C, Cannot be managed
90T/T+, 90FA, 90FL, 90T-16
900TL, 900SL, 900FL,
DECmau 900TL
Standalone not listed above Has integral SNMP Agent - no other
module required
DECpacketprobes require PROBEwatch for management
WANrouter 90's, MUXserver 90's and LATprint 90 are not manageable with
HUBwatch; use NCL/TSM. Can do limited WANrouter and MUXserver
management with generic SNMP MIB browser.
Futures:
The DECbridge 90/90FL bus master code is no longer being updated to
recognize or manage new modules. For example, it will neither
recognize, nor manage, the DECrepeater 90T-16. For this reason,
it is recommended that the DECbridge 90/90FL no longer be used
as a bus master in new hubs, or in hubs where new modules are
likely to be deployed. Use a DECagent 90 in each hub instead.
(DECagent 90 V3.0 firmware is required to proxy for DECrepeater
90T-16; DECrepeater 90T-16 does not have an integral SNMP agent)
In September new firmware for the DECrepeater 90TS/FS will allow
these repeaters to be a bus master in a DEChub 90. These modules can
then substitute for a DECagent 90 except when a DECbridge 90/90FL or
DECserver 90L/90L+ is present. The DECrepeater 90TS/FS will not
manage remote hubs which contain DECbridge 90/90FL bus masters.
When Stackables are introduced:
Possible stack masters (bus masters) will be the DECagent 90 V3.0,
and DECrepeater 90TS/90FS.
