2784.0. "FDDI probe" by LUX01::62679::triniane () Thu Sep 21 1995 11:11

Hello

I red somewhere that 

the DECSwitch 900EE and 900EF will offer Q1CY96 
	either the 4 groups (statistiques, history, alarms et events) 
	either all the RMON groups

Does this means that we could offer a standalone FDDI Rmon Probe ?

Does it means that this probe would be compatible with Probewatch ?

if not do we have other solution for customers that want to buy probe for Ethernet today but are asking 
for FDDI plan/compatibilty.

I am answering an RFP.

Thanks 

Pierre

	I inquired about these, and got the following replies. > Does this means that we could offer a standalone FDDI Rmon Probe ? No, there will not, standalone only for Ethernet. > Does it means that this probe would be compatible with Probewatch ? Yes, it will be compatible with Probewatch. Bob
2784.2	FDDI probes are Frontier's; not Hub based	NAC::FORREST	`Mon Sep 25 1995 16:59`	48
	NAC::NIPG:[MANAGE.RMON]RESELL.TXT 21-Sep-1995 You can now resell Frontier's FDDI and WAN probes, as well as their NETscout Manager software (PROBEwatch equivalent) on Sun, HP, and IBM UNIX. Here are the Frontier model numbers which we can sell. The prices below represent the Digital selling price to Customers. These represent a 5% markup on Frontier's list prices. Frontier sells additional options, primarily with additional memory, or with Token Ring instead of Ethernet cards. The DT numbers are the Digital order numbers. Hardware: WAN Probe FDDI Probe FDDI Probe 6050/8 7101/ET/8 7102ET/8 $7,345.00 $10,495.00 $12,595 DT-A0001-IA DT-A0001-IB DT-A0001-IC ** The FDDI probes require PROBEwatch or NETscout Manager V3.3 *** Software: NETscout Clients 9350 - NETscout Manager SW for Sun SPARCstation DT-A0001-ID $5245.00 9750 - NETscout Manager SW for HP 9000 (HP UX) DT-A0001-IE $5245.00 9350 - NETscout Manager SW for IBM RS 6000 (AIX)DT-A0001-IF $5245.00 Product descriptions: WAN Probe - 6050/8 is Frontier's probe with a WAN interface and an Ethernet AUI interface. It will be shipped with a V.35 interface on the WAN side. The WAN interface connects between the router and the DSU/CSU. FDDI probe - 7101/ET/8 is Frontier's probe with a UTP FDDI port and an Ethernet AUI interface. They use Digital's PCI FDDI NIC as the FDDI interface. The PROBEwatch-probe traffic must travel over the Ethernet or the SLIP port; you cannot manage in-band on the FDDI; you can only monitor on the FDDI port. The 8 in Frontier's part number signifies 8 Meg of RAM. FDDI probe - 7102/ET/8 is Frontier's probe with a SAS Multimode fiber interface; everything else is the same as the 7101/ET/8. Functionality is the same as for the DECpacketprobe and PROBEwatch, except the Statistics reported are appropriate to the interface type.
