2204.0. "DECrepeater 90TS supply SNMP to DECHUB 900?" by STRWRS::KOCH_P (It never hurts to ask...) Wed Apr 19 1995 21:57

    
    Can the DECrepeater 90TS act as the SNMP manager for a DECHUB 900? Or
    will it require new firmware to do that?
    
    On my hub it sort of works, but times out alot right now.

    We see no reason to want to use a 90TS as the hub manager in a 900.
    Anyway, it requires new firmware, and 
    it's unsupported.

Maybe I do not understand the question clearly but as mentioned in 2065.8 
DECrepeater 90TS a 90FS can act as IP service modul for hub managenent. 
Please correct me if I am wrong ...

2204.390TS not the hub managerNETCAD::DOODYMichael DoodyWed Apr 26 1995 16:4611
    The DEChub 900 has its own internal hub manager, called the Management
    Agent Module or MAM. There is no other module necessary for "SNMP
    management". 
    
    However, the MAM does not have a network interface, so to communicate
    with it you must use either the out-of-band management port or in-band
    using one of the inserted module's network interface to provide IP
    connectivity. As you point out, 2065.8 shows that the DECrepeater 90TS 
    and 90FS can provide this IP service.

    Sometimes I mis-speak. What I would like to know is if the 90TS can
    provide IP services for the DEChub 900?

Yes.
2204.6STRWRS::KOCH_PIt never hurts to ask...Thu Apr 27 1995 17:325
    
    Well, if that's the case, then there is a bug. I used a 90TS to provide
    IP services to a DEChub 900 and it doesn't work correctly. It times out
    at indeterminate points. Is this something which would need to be
    fixed?
2204.7Will the experts please sign in ...ROGER::GAUDETBecause the Earth is 2/3 waterThu Apr 27 1995 21:063
Perhaps one of the repeater folks would care to comment?

2204.8NOT TODAY!ROMEOS::HARRIS_MASales Executive IITue May 16 1995 18:559
    I've been going down this same route with BofA and the info I got this
    moring is the DR90TS *CAN NOT* supply IP-Services to a DEChub900
    chassis (mam) TODAY! It is planned to support this function (bus
    master) at some time in the Fall-95 timeframe, BUT NOT NOW!!
    
    Is my info correct? I assume the work-around is loan the customer a
    DECagent90 in the mean-time...

I don't think a DECagent 90 can be an IP services module...
2204.10Which HUB ???DELNI::BUZZELLTue May 16 1995 20:356
    
         The DECrepeater 90TS WILL DEFINITELY supply IP services for
    a DEChub 900MS. What it will NOT do is be the bus-master for a
    DEChub90 today.

    Well, since Ed has said that the 90TS will supply IP services, I guess
    I'll have to log an official call to report my bug. When I use the 90TS
    in a DEChub 900 with multiple modules, it fails.
