3244.0. "HubONE & DS900EF Routeabout" by IB004::CODINA () Tue Feb 06 1996 05:45

	I'm novice using following configuration:

		DechubONE
		Decswitch 900EF loaded as RouteAbout MP
		HubWatch 4.1-1

	The PC running hubwatch is connected to port 5 of the brouter and 
	it's running fine. Anyway I have two questions:

	1) First time I connected the HubONE console got the menu with
	usual options (Reset module, reset to factory settings, etc) and
	the option to connect to the Brouter console. I choosed this one
	and do a normal qconfig to the brouter.

	Following connections bring me directly to the (*) brouter console
	prompt and never more get the HubONE console. Is this the intended
	behaviour? Does a reset (for example) to the HubONE exist and if yes
	how do I access to it?


	2) Once executed Hubwatch I can connect to the brouter with no
	problem and display the front pannel. But I can't do anything else,
	double clik to the module or to a port does nothing. What should
	I expect from Hubwatch connected to a Routeabout? 


	Thanks for any answer,

    Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed.
    
    You will get, at most, a TELNET window with HUBwatch 4.* when you click
    on a switch running routing code. Other than front panel leds and LAN
    interconnect support, there is no other management provided for
    routers.
    
    HUBwatch 5.0 will have some level of router management. 
    Also watch for new clearVISN applications specifically designed for the
    management of routers and WANs.
