Couple of questions of using HUBwatch to manage Gigaswitch:
1) When using HUBwatch V4.0 for window to manage Gigaswitch (V2.2 kit), it
displays 'managed port' in gigaswitch management window, could someone
explain to me is this 'management port' that I used to manage the
gigaswitch?
Because when we look at the bridging status of that port which is
BLOCKED (blocked by spanning tree), so I just wonder will this
'management port' to the port that HUBwatch used to talk to it?
2) Is HUBwatch for OSF/1 available yet?
thanks and regards,

With regards to "managed port" - I don't know where that comes
from, but whether a port is in spanning tree blocking state or not does
not affect SNMP communication with the GIGAswitch/FDDI system over that
port. Spanning tree blocking affects forwarding of frames, SNMP
communication with the GIGAswitch/FDDI system is communication with the
GIGAswitch/FDDI system as a station on the ring, which does not involve
forwarding.

If it's the field I think it is, the Management Port is the GIGAswitch port that the HUBwatch workstation is talking to. | |||||
