527.0. "One OOB to manage all hubs?" by HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONG (Faraday Chong@hgo 852-8053590) Mon Nov 29 1993 10:40

    A question on using Out-Of-Band (OOB) management in multi-hub
    environment.
    
    In a multi-hub (DEChub 900MS) network, if all the customer wants is OOB
    management, can all hubs be managed via OOB port of one of the DEChub
    900MS? In other words, we want to manage all hubs OOB, but prefer only
    a few hubs have OOB connections (not all hubs, perhaps only two).
    
    Is this possible?
    
    If yes, any documenation on how this could done?

527.2	Why?	HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONG	Faraday Chong@hgo 852-8053590	`Mon Nov 29 1993 14:08`	14
	Need more clarifications on OOB capability. re .1 In base note and this note, we assume using any SNMP manager, not necessarily HUBwatch. Would the answer different? Was it because the OOB port accept only commands directed (based on IP destination address) to the hub's out-of-band IP address? Would OOB forward packets not destined to OOB IP address through IP services, ie, possibility to reach off-hub? Faraday

Nope - same answer... > Was it because the OOB port accept only commands directed (based on > IP destination address) to the hub's out-of-band IP address? > Would OOB forward packets not destined to OOB IP address through IP > services, ie, possibility to reach off-hub? Exactly the reason; the hub is a hub, not a router. [To anticipate the next question... no, it is not planned]
