1213.0. "cisco management from DEC products?" by NEOV00::MRIVERA (Mario Rivera, EIS Monterrey Mexico) Thu Jul 04 1991 16:06

Hi:

I have a customer with several cisco routers and he wants to manage 
them using DEC products, but he wonders (and me too) at what extent can 
cisco be managed considering that, at this point, they are only routing 
DECnet traffic (TCPI/IP will come later).

- Can I manage ALL the DECnet parameters in the cisco, but having access 
  to it only via SNMP? (and assuming an MIB2)
  I believe that the only way to get to the ciscos (from mcc or MSU) is
  using SNMP, right? 

- Can management of cisco be done in a different way? I mean, not SNMP.

- Will next release of BMS include some aid to manage cisco easily?
  Something similar to what is included with MSU?

- Can mcc/MSU integrate/interoperate with other network management 
  products for cisco management (including the management tool 
  provided by cisco)? At which extent?

Thanks in advance,
Mario

Mario,

	The currently shipping version of the DECmcc TCPIP/SNMP Access Module
(V1.0) supports management of MIB I objects.

	The next release of the Access Module (V1.1) will support MIB II and 
allow users to dynamically extend the capability of the Access Module to manage
vendor specific management objects. 

	If cisco's snmp agent provides for management of DECnet specific 
parameters, and they have a concise mib definition of those parameters, then 
the upcoming release of the DECmcc TCPIP/SNMP AM will provide the management 
capability you're looking for.

	Regards,

	Dan
