2869.0. "ELM AM and DECbridge 90 upgrade" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Tue Apr 28 1992 13:36

With the DECbridge 90 firmware upgrade being done now, will the ELM AM be 
able to manage it and the DECrepeater 90T/C.

Will the ELM V1.2 SSB be able to manage it?

NOT SNMP but RBMS management.

	\| With the DECbridge 90 firmware upgrade being done now, will the ELM AM be \| able to manage it and the DECrepeater 90T/C. Right now, the MCC Bridge AM (T1.2.7) will not display very many of the attributes that the DECbridge 90 supports. We don't list the DECbridge 90 in our list of supported devices because of this. DECrepeaters are not manageable by DECmcc ELM as far as I know. Do they even use the RBMS protocol? \| Will the ELM V1.2 SSB be able to manage it? We are planning on doing some work to get a decent amount of support for the DECbridge 90. Due to time contraints we may not be able to get full support in for V1.2 SSB.

	Hi Raj, The Bridge AM will be able to do some management operations on the DECbridge 90 running RBMS. The DB90 RBMS implementaiton is slightly different than the other RBMS bridges so it is unclear whether or not we will have full support by SSB or not. There are no current plans to support the DECrepeater 90 with ELM. Bob
2869.3	DECrepeaters as PHY PORTS...	CHRISB::BRIENEN	DECmcc LAN and SNMP Stuff...	`Tue Apr 28 1992 15:12`	29
	RE: 2869.1 > > DECrepeaters are not manageable by DECmcc ELM as far as I know. Do > they even use the RBMS protocol? > In a DEChub 90, the DECrepeaters are managed by a DECbridge 90 (via the DEChub's management bus). The individual repeater ports are modelled as Bridge Phy Ports. Thus, commands like: ENABLE\|DISABLE\|SHOW BRIDGE fred PHY PORT portid\|* would be used manage a repeater port (if support were implemented in the Bridge AM). Based on schedule pressures, it is doubtful that the upcoming Bridge AM release (running on DECmcc V1.2) will have DECrepeater support. In fact, since DECbridge 90 implemented the Forwarding Database stuff in a way different from existing bridges, support for the Forwarding Database may not be present either... Chris P.S. Ed or Bob, feel free to correct me RE: availability of full DECbridge 90/DECrepeater 90 support in Bridge AM.
