3319.0. "HUBwatch issues" by HGOVC::ANTHONYCHIU () Mon Mar 04 1996 05:13

    Hello,
    
    I have two questions regarding HUBwatch from our customer, see whether
    someone knows the answer :
    
    1)  If we've created a file addr_filter.lis with all the MAC addresses
    to be filtered,  HOW CAN I APPLY THIS FILE TO A PARTICULAR PORT ON THE
    900EF MODULE ?
    
    2)  Does HUBwatch have sort of password protection capability to avoid
    any unauthorized access to the management station ?
    
    Thanks in advance 
    
    Anthony

3319.1Try Resilience....NAC::LICAUSEMon Mar 04 1996 08:2824
    RE: Address lists
    
    We've done something similar with certain bridges in that we have used
    Resilience to first backup the complete image of the bridge, then
    modified the .SDF file to include the appropriate filters in the
    particular section of the .SDF file.
    
    You then restore either the entire bridge or just the filter section as
    need be.
    
    Perhaps someone from the HUBwatch or Resilience group could expand on
    this or offer a better solution?
    
    
    RE: Password protection....
    
    The only such protection that I am aware of is the use of Read/Write
    community strings.   You could create a community known only to the
    management or responsible group.
    
    Again someone from the DEChub group could probably expand further on
    this?

3319.2You mean "MultiChassis Manager Issues", right? ;-{)}SLINK::HOODThey call me MISTER Dilbert.Mon Mar 04 1996 10:068
Password protection for all clearVISN applications, including
Multichassis Manager (the artist formerly known as HUBwatch),
Recovery Manager (nee Resilience), and other apps is being added.
It will not be in the next release, but is planned for the next major 
release after that.

3319.3Better security?PTOJJD::DANZAKPittsburgher �Mon Mar 04 1996 18:043
    What about a more 'physical security' such as only allowing specific IP
    address access for management etc.?

    Well, "HUBwatch" has *never* been "HubWatch"!  ;-{)}
    
    The enVISN Marketing Forum recently renamed several products. I'm not
    the person to announce them, but, what the hell... (These names are
    effective with the next release of each of the following products.)
    
       HUBwatch -------------> clearVISN MultiChassis Manager V5.0
       limited HUBwatch -----> clearVISN Stack Manager V1.0
       PROBEwatch -----------> clearVISN RMON Manager V3.3
       Resilience -----------> clearVISN Recovery Manager V1.1
       HUBloader ------------> clearVISN Flash Loader
    
    Future clearVISN applications use names like these.
