3151.0. "Multiple 90TS repeaters in DECstack ... " by NCMAIL::SCHEID () Fri Jan 12 1996 01:17

    
    When multiple DECrepeater 90TS modules are in a DECstack 90
    configuration with one set as HUB master. Each 90TS has been given 
    an IP Address ... why are a majority of management features under HUBwatch 
    "greyed out" on all 90TS modules except on the 90TS acting as HUB 
    master. 
    
    Is this something that will change in the future or is this a
    limitation ... 
    
    
    Customer does'nt want 90T16's because they are not capable of providing 
    the more detailed management info (fancy gauges etc ...)

	I think you have to manage each module individually using its own IP address, not via the stack master 90TS. When you use the stack master 90TS to look at the other 90TSs, it is using the serial management bus to interrogate the other modules. The protocol used across the serial management bus is rudimentary and cannot understand per-port security and statistics etc. However once you manage each TS using its own IP address, this is now in-band (across the thinwire bus) which uses SNMP, and you get the normal SNMP features.
