Can anyone give me some indication as to what other devices can be managed by the SNMP AM other than DEC Ultrix hosts, ultrix workstations, and TCP/IP host? Are there MIB extensions written to manage other third party devices? Merlin

The SNMP AM can 'manage' any system/device that implements MIB I. Here the term 'manage' means perform SNMP Get and Set requests. > Are there MIB extensions written to manage other third party devices? There are many MIB extensions ( actually they are entirely new MIBs ) designed by various vendors and implemented in their devices. The next release of the AM will incorporate knowledge of other MIBs. At this time I don't know which ones. The AM kit that was release in November along with DECmcc 1.1 EFT contains support for Wellfleet's private MIB. Regards, Mike | |||||

What type of effort is required by the Network manager to set up access
to third party devices that support SNMP MIB I ?
I'm writing a PSS work statement describing the tasks required during
the installation and set-up of the TCP/IP AM and I need some help
understanding how this all works.
Some of the devices the customer wants to "see" are:
Synoptics 3030 and 3000 concentrators
Wellfleet bridge
ACC 4030 bridge
Vitalink Translan 3, 350, VX
Timeplex TDM Link-2
If these devices truly implement MIB I, it should work. In all honesty,
what do you think the chances are of this functioning ? Again, what type
of effort may be involved ?
Many thanks in advance.

In all honesty I think the chances of this working are quite good. The amount of effort required by the network manager is minimal assuming that the TCP/IP AM has been installed. | |||||

I think you only need the IP addresses of the things you want to manage
and then you give em names and register them into DECmcc.
