3547.0. "decnet filter and probewatch" by BPSERX::BPSPC4::KIRALY (x) Wed May 22 1996 09:12

Hi,

A customer would like to get the following statistical data about their network:

There is a decnet-only node which is used by a lot of other decnet node on WAN via a decrouter-250.

Is it possible with Probewatch (or other tool) to filter the decnet traffic from and to this node, and gather the decnet 
addresses with which this node communicates?

Thanks,

Endre

3547.1Just attach a LAPTOP running IRIS near the node.MSDOA::REEDJohn Reed @CBO = Network ServicesWed May 22 1996 13:0813
    I would use IRIS, which is a PC-based network monitoring tool, for
    Digital Internal use only.   It can be set to look at packets only
    going TO or FROM your node in question, and will give you real-time
    data, instead of the much slower process of loading the packetprobe
    with commands, waiting for uploads, and decodes.
    
    The packetprobe is really good for graphing, or  comparing many
    segments at once.  but your need would be easily and simply met using
    IRIS.
    
    IRIS can be found at the RANGER::IRIS notes conference.

    I would think that you could do this by creating a domain with only
    decnet as the protocol and enabling converstations logging.
