3533.0. "Does VMSMCC 1.2 need ucx 2.0 for autotopology " by CGOOA::BARNABE (Guy Barnabe (DIS) Regina/Canada) Tue Aug 11 1992 07:46

    VMS MCC 1.2, UCX 1.3, VMS 5.5
    
    The Colorado CSC has just informed my customer that in order to do a
    IP autoconfig, that UCX V2.0 is required!
    
    Is this correct?

3533.1No, V1.3 should be OKTOOK::MINTZErik Mintz, dtn 226-5033Tue Aug 11 1992 12:145
The SPD indicates the latest shipping version of required products.
That results in UCX V2.0.  However, DECmcc autoconfig runs with UCX V1.3
as well.

3533.2Testing was done with UCX V1.3TOOK::FIGWERUlla Figwer LKG2-2/T2 x226-7858Tue Aug 11 1992 21:0813
    
    Hello Guy,
    
    All our testing of IP Autoconfiguration on VMS was done with
    UCX V1.3.  I believe that one field test site tried using
    V2.0, but I am not sure what the results were.

3533.3but but...CGOOA::BARNABEGuy Barnabe (DIS) Regina/CanadaWed Aug 12 1992 05:1113
    Thanx... but.. then perhaps our TCP network is not set up properly
    at the customer site!
    
    What exactly should be in the TCP network for AUTOconfig to work? ie
    do we need a TCP router thing configured with an SNMP thing on it...
    and what about that ARP thing... and the BIND thing?  
    
    What is the TCP Gateway supposed to be?

3533.5UCX 2.0 worked...CGOOA::BARNABEGuy Barnabe (DIS) Regina/CanadaFri Aug 14 1992 06:257
    Customer has just installed UCX 2.0 on his IP network, which
    may not be set up properly (missing proper BIND; routing services) and
    low and behold the autopology worked!
