3786.0. "HUB 900 MIB question" by NCMAIL::SCHEID () Fri Aug 09 1996 16:54

    
    The DEChub 900 chassis MIB variable chasSlotModuleVersion contains
    blanks for modules inserted in slots 1-8 (should'nt the firmware
    version for each module be there ...)

3786.1Chassis mib says both hardware & firmware...NETCAD::BATTERSBYFri Aug 09 1996 18:0816
    chasSlotModuleVersion OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX  DisplayString (SIZE (0..32))
        ACCESS  read-only
        STATUS  mandatory
     
        DESCRIPTION
            "A textual description of the version/revision level for
             this module's hardware and firmware.  If not available,
             this value is a zero-length string."
    
    - From the description, it looks like it's supposed to contain
    both the hardware and firmware info. Don't know why you're
    seeing blanks though.

3786.2Seeing blanks ... NCMAIL::SCHEIDThu Aug 15 1996 10:231
    Can Anybody tell me why these fields are blank ???
3786.3Individual modules must provide the infoNETCAD::MILLBRANDTanswer mamThu Aug 15 1996 19:2420
The hub MAM supports these fields.  When one is blank, it is because
the module in that slot did not report a value when queried.

A random sampling of hubs here shows version numbers supplied by:

	- DECconcentator 900MX at V3.x
	- DECrepeater 900 at V2.x
	- DECrepeater 90FS, 90TS at V2.x
	- DECswitch 900EF at V1.6.x

Earlier versions may also support this.  Modules that do not
provide this field include:

	- All other DECrepeater 90 modules
	- DECserver 90 family

All these modules do supply information for the chasSlotModuleDescr
objects.
