3759.0. "DECswitch 900EF Partial RMON" by SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE (Poles are the best post-impressionists) Wed Jul 31 1996 22:25

    With the DECswitch 900EF partial RMON:
    
    1) for the short and long history intervals, can you change these from the
    defaults?
    
    2) can you use RMON Manager to manage any of Stats, History, Alarms or
    Events on the DECswitch, or does RMON Manager only work with the enterprise
    RMON?
    
    Thanks for any help
    Jeannie

	> 1) for the short and long history intervals, can you change these from the > defaults? Kind of. The MIB definition of historyControlInterval says, "This object may not be modified if the associated historyControlStatus object is equal to valid(1)." So you can change the default by deleting the old entry and create another with your favorite interval. Or, since you can gather up to four separate sets of history information per interface, with 50 buckets per entry, don't bother deleting, just create another entry. > 2) can you use RMON Manager to manage any of Stats, History, Alarms or > Events on the DECswitch, or does RMON Manager only work with the enterprise > RMON? I believe RMON Manager works with the four free groups. The only limitation (okay, bug) I'm aware of is that RMON Manager doesn't like the traps sent by the DEC event group. RMON Manager will fix this in the next release. -Shawn

	Thanks Shawn What's the trick in getting this to work? I have added the DECswitch 900EF as an agent and <Test> works fine, but whenever I try to do anything else, I get the error messages "error accessing agent ds900ef while creating channel ..." or "cannot communicate with agent". Jeannie
3759.3	Interface Number 2-7	SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE	Poles are the best post-impressionists	`Wed Aug 07 1996 01:46`	5
	Silly me - I accepted the default interface number of 1, which is the FDDI. I've changed this to an Ethernet interface number and it works fine! Jeannie
