345.0. "DECbrouter 90 and Repeater Management" by IIKE::FREAK (Roy Freak) Fri Aug 20 1993 03:33

Can a DECbrouter 90 in a DEChub manage a DECrepeater in a manner similar to that
performed by a DECbridge 90?

    The decagent should attain this capability in a future release.
    Also the dechub 900 can manage the repeater without any assistance.
345.3Does the Integral Manager provide left hitchcock ?TENTO1::GREENRCuriosity Killed The CatTue Sep 14 1993 20:2912
    Is this really true ??
    Although the PID states that the Integral management module provides
    SNMP proxying for DECrepeater 90's and Hub Services the DEChub/HUBwatch
    documentation implies that a DECrepeater 900TM is required to provide
    hub management services. ie The integral management card does the
    proxying but the 900TM acts as bus master talking left hitchcock to
    DEChub 90 style repeaters.
    Can someone clarify this please ?

345.4DECrepeater 900TM used to provide a path for IP to the hub mgt moduleNAC::FORRESTTue Sep 21 1993 21:2511
	The DECrepeater 900TM is needed to provide an in-band path to the 
	DEChub 900 Management module, since the management module has no 
	MAC interface. We call this function IP Services; other 900 repeater 
	modules are planned to provide IP Services too.

	The hub management module actually polls each slot and, upon detecting 
	a DECrepeater 90, will proxy for it and support the same MIB objects 
	as does the DECagent 90 when it proxies for a DECrepeater 90.
