2477.0. "Help with 900EF and 900MX Pleeease" by ATHINA::KARVOUNIS_A (Who knows KWITERBELYAKIN ? ) Thu Jul 06 1995 08:07

    Hello out there.
    
    	I have a DECswith 900EF and a DEChub ONE, with this combination can
    I use the switch as a standalone repeater? What I like to do is put 
    two unix systems on two of the utp ports of the switch and both of them 
    will be able to communicate together.
    
    	Is this possible without any configuration of the switch with
    hubwatch ? 
    
    	Also I will to ask if I can use this switch or a concetrator 900
    for the SNMP agent in a HUB 900.
    
    I have a customer (STET) that bought two hubs 900. In one of them they 
    have one 900EF switch and three 900MX consertrators, on the other they
    have one 900GM repeater and two 900MX consertrators. They want to put
    on this FDDI ring all of their systems.  I tried to use on one of them
    the 900EF switch as an agent in the hubwatch but the hubwatch came back
    with the message not response from the agent. Because I am new to some 
    of this could someone help me.
    
    
    	Thank you in Advance.

>> Is this possible without any configuration of the switch with  hubwatch ? 

  yes,
  if you use the correct cable , you must have a crossover cable between
  alphastation and DECswitch

  yes these two components works as IP services for HUB900

    You might want to try to ping the in-band address for the hub when you
    get the "no response from agent" message.
    
    Remember that the switch or concentrator is not acting as SNMP agent
    for the DEChub 900. It has its own internal agent.

    	How do you plan to connect the 900GM ethernet repeater in the
    second hub if all you have in that hub are fddi concentrators?  You
    need a 900ef to bridge between the ethernet repeater and fddi.

    	I am sorry I made a mistake. The 900GM is going to go into the hub with 
    the 900EF and the two 900MX's and in the other hub will be only two
    900MX consetrators. 
    
    
    	Thanks to you all for the replies.
