3841.0. "Multistack90 and management question" by ISTWI1::EKER () Thu Sep 05 1996 05:41

    Hi,
    
    1. Is there a way to manage a multistack90 system full of
    DECrepeater90T16's and one 90TS, without using the UTP management cable? 
    (I mean via the thinwire ethernet segment)
    
    2. Can the simple SNMP managament applications other than our clearVISN
    manage DECrepeater90T-16's via the thinwire ethernet segment? 
    
    I ask these because the network is very long (more than 420m which is
    the limit for UTP management cable).
    
    Thanks,
    
    - Onder.

    1. No, 90T16s don't have an IP address, therefore they can't be managed
    via Ethernet. 
    
    2. No again. 
    
    3. Are you saying this because you are using fiber between the modules?
    If so, put a 90FS at each end and use that as the SNMP manager for the
    stack. If not, can you explain more about the 420m limit since thinwire
    is limited to 185 meters.
3841.2You're right, fiber will be there.ISTWI1::EKERFri Sep 06 1996 08:2911
    Thanks for the response.
    
    3. Yes, there'll be fiber link between buildings, but instead of using
    two 90FS's, we are considering to connect the fiber to 1 90FS and 1
    90T-16's AUI port. That's why I was asking whether we can manage the
    repeaters through the ethernet. So we'll be using 1 90FS for the 1st
    building, 1 90TS for the second building (it will be better because you
    gain some more UTP ports also).

    I thought so. You need either an DECrepeater 90TS or 90FS to be the
    stack manager. Your conclusion is one that I do all the time.
