4199.0. "RMON manager and community string" by PTOJJD::DANZAK (Pittsburgher �) Wed Feb 05 1997 07:11

    I had trouble following the RMON-upgrade instructions for using V1.7 of
    the code in the DECswitch series to do basic RMON.
    
    The ONLY way that I got it to work was to set the device community
    string to "string"-RMON.  (i.e. public-rmon)
    
    ALL of the instructions simply say to append "-rmon" to the community
    string in the RMON manager software.  It did *NOT* say that you needed
    to CHANGE THE DEVICE community string to "string"-RMON.  
    
    Nasty glitch in the documentation if that is true...because it is NOT
    called out anywhere.

That's not true.  You should not change the community string.  You should
only have to append -rmon to the community string if you want to access
Frontier's FULL RMON.  The basic RMON should have worked without any
messing with the community string.  If you tell me the official name of the
document you were using I'll check it out.

4199.2Sorry, it didn't work the other day!PTOJJD::DANZAKPittsburgher �Fri Feb 07 1997 19:597
    Shawn,
    
    The ONLY way that I got it to work was to *CHANGE* the community
    string to "mumble-rmon" and it worked.
    
    I'll try it again this weekend, but that was honestly the ONLY way.
