790.0. "IP services in 900 backplane ?" by LARVAE::HARVEY (Baldly going into the unknown...) Thu Mar 03 1994 17:12

 
 Simple question : can the DECbridge 900MX provide the IP services for the 
 chassis manager of the 900 ?
 
 That trigers the question of just which modules can provide the IP services ?
 
 From what I am led to believe just because a module has SNMP built-in does not 
 mean that it can provide this facility.... Is this correct ?
 
 									 thanks

Yes, the DECbridge 900MX can provide IP services.

And yes, you are right.  Just because a module has an SNMP agent doesn't mean
it can provide IP services.  For example, the DECbrouter 90T modules and the
DECserver 90TL, 90M, 900TM terminal servers do not provide IP services, but 
do have an SNMP agent.

    The following provide IP Services:
    
       Any DECrepeater900 (including the new ones coming soon...)
    
       DEFMI (new half-height redundant pair fiber/aui repeater)
    
       Any DECconcentrator900
    
       Any DECbridge900
    
    If you believe that other products not on this list should provide IP
    services, you should let the product manager for them know and make the
    usual business-based case for it.

	Most people will read Scott's message as any "Ethernet" DECrepeater 900, 
	but just to be sure the DECrepeater 900TL and DECrepeater 900SL, both 
	Token Ring repeaters, do not provide IP services.
