| Hi,
To access your DECconcentrator 500 using SNMP, your
DECconcentrator must be at rev. 3.0 of firmware. This version
is available since some months, so it must not be a problem
to get it if unfortunately, you don't have it on your
DECconcentrator.
DECconcentrator 500 v.3.0 of firmware allows only SNMP Get
command. You'll need the next version (3.1) for SNMP SET command,
it must be announced very soon, so your customer must purchase
the upgrade firmware license.
To be able to access the DECconcentrator 500 through SNMP,
you must set an IP address on the box. Today, there is two way
to do it :
. through BOOTP protocol from a node acting as BOOTP server
. through DEC Network Management software as DECelms, DECmsu v.1.1
or DECmcc/DEC ELM v.1.0

My customer has several questions regarding the SNMP agent and the
vendor specific MIB for the DECconcentrator 500:
1) Is there a vendor supplied SNMP MIB extension for the DC500?
They have noticed that standard MIB-2, other than the GIGAswitch
vendor supplied MIB, is the only MIB available when registering
a DC500 under DECmcc
2) What traps is the V3.4A DECconcentrator agent capable of
generating? Where are they documented?
3) Is there a User's Manual available for the DC500 V3.4A SNMP
Agent?
The reason that the customer would like to have answers to these
questions is because they want to move away from DECmcc as their
standard NMS and go purely SNMP. They realize that the Concentrator AM
for DECmcc is rich in features but they also realize that the CONC
access module has nothing to do with SNMP. They would like to see the
feature richness of the DECmcc CONC AM integrated into perhaps a vendor
MIB extension for the DC500.
4) Is something like this planned or underway?
Thanks,
Dave
