2193.0. "HUBWACH and multivendor equipment" by COWBOY::MIRGHANE () Thu Apr 13 1995 15:25

    Is it possible (or planned) to manage non DIGITAL equipment 
    using HUBwatch?
    If planned: Which vendor equipment will be integrated?
    If not planned can an integrator include such extensions given that the
    equipment to manage is SNMP compliant?
    The question is coming from a customer implementing multivendor 
    equipment for a big  project.
    Thanks for help.
    Regards.
    Soumetty.

It is not possible nor planned for customers to be able to add their
own external device management to HUBwatch.  

HUBwatch is not a general-purpose SNMP management tool (a la Netview or
Openview).  It is software specifically designed to manage DEChubs, 
DEChub modules, and the GIGAswitches.

Code can be written to manage other devices, but that code does not
exist, and HUBwatch is not set up to allow other people to just attach
modules to it.

In situations like you are describing, my suggestion would be to manage
the entire customer network with netview or openview or manageworks, and
have the device management (like HUBwatch) be launchable on a device-by-
device basis.

And the usual rule applies:  If you think that HUBwatch needs to manage
something beyond DEChubs, DEChub modules, or GIGAswitches, contact the
product manager, Jack NAC::Forrest.
