4284.0. "DECswitch900-xx and max hosts" by ROM01::GALLANA (Francesco Gallana) Mon Mar 17 1997 11:57

    I'm using PROBEwatch to manage a DECswitch 900EF equipped with FW
    V1.7.0R (full RMON)
    
    The default max hosts of this module is 128.....
    
    How can I increment this value?
    
    Is there any way to connect to the console like the DECpacketprobe?
    
    Regard

    128 is the max.  There is no way to increase this.
    Because of the limited memory resources, the max values are
    not configurable.

4284.2Thanks, gulp!ROM01::GALLANAFrancesco GallanaTue Mar 18 1997 06:039
    Chris,
    
    many thanks.
    
    It will be more difficut for me, now, to enphasis the DECswitch900-xx
    with full RMON support.

4284.3What are the customers expectations?NETCAD::BATTERSBYTue Mar 18 1997 09:1310
    Just out of curiosity, what are you hearing from your customer/s
    in regard to expectations of RMON support in their network.
    A node limit of 128 isn't totally out of wack with what the
    competition offers I believe. Also a normal deploy of RMON
    support would involve strategic placement of several RMON probes
    such as the DECswitch in an extended LAN, and not relying on a
    single RMON probe presumably placed in the "center of the LAN"
    someplace in the hopes of capturing all.

4284.4RMON agent contains the whole nodes of the LANROM01::GALLANAFrancesco GallanaWed Apr 02 1997 09:2914
    Bob,
    
    You are not wrong, in fact, the customer has created some LANs, each of
    them has about 180 nodes...
    
    The fact is that the RMON agent within the DECswitch 900EF contains the
    whole list of nodes (sorry, only 128...); the bad thing is that
    enquiring the Host list many times, you get different lists, not always
    the "top 128"
    
    This is what.
    
    Regards
