3119.0. "DECswitch900 problem" by HGOVC::ANTHONYCHIU () Thu Jan 04 1996 08:02

    Hello,
    
    I had a problems from one of our big customer :
    
    1) They have newly installed DECswitch900EF.  But when they tried to
    manage this module from HUBwatch, they got an error message :
    
    " Agent type not correct "
    
    Are there any reasons behind this error message ?
    
    Thanks in advance.

3119.1Need more informationNETRIX::"[email protected]"steven FrekeThu Jan 04 1996 11:0513

	I need a few more details. What version of code is the switch running?
what version of hubwatch are you using, and what version are you running
on the hub. Is this after power up, or just in regular use.

I guess that they have a module in the hub, that offers IP services, what 
module is this. Can you click on any other modules in the hub or is this 
hub wide.

3119.2DECswitch 900 HGOVC::ANTHONYCHIUFri Jan 12 1996 03:5126
    Steven,
    
    Thanks for your response first.  Today I got more details from the
    customer :
    
    
    1) The version of F/W has been upgraded to DECbrouter 900 
    2) The version of HUBwatch is 3.1
    3) The switch is a standalone module
    4) The error message happened after power-up
    5) The switch itself has been configured with IP address
    
    The error message is "Agent type not correct"
    
    Therefore, the question is does this version of HUBwatch supports
    DECbrouter 900 firmware ?
    
    If not, what version would be the suitable one ?
    
    Thanks
    Anthony
3119.3Not supported in verion 3.1SLINK::HOODMy God, what have I done to my spleen?Fri Jan 12 1996 11:3414
You need at least HUBwatch 4.0, and possibly 4.1.

The release notes for each version of HUBwatch lists the devices that version
supports. None of the routing DECswitches are supported before 4.0.

You should know that when you're running the routing code in a DECswitch,
here's what HUBwatch provides for that module:
	- Front panel bezel
	- TELNET connection window.
You will lose the bridging management.

HUBwatch 5.0 will include some basic router management, but you'll want the
separately sold) clearVISN router manager application  to really handle 
routers.
