| 3690.2 | | STRWRS::KOCH_P | It never hurts to ask... | Tue Jul 09 1996 19:35 | 3 |
|
However, isn't that only for certain protocols? Or does it support
DECnet, OSI, IPX, etc.?

Just for Info:
If you try to monitor a decnis with RM, only IP,IPX and appletalk is supported
in the pie chart.
Since we are using DECnet and IP here in our location only, the pie chart
isn't that usefull for monitoring a decnis.

| 3690.5 | Router Configurator V1.0 does not support the DECnis | NETCAD::FORINO | | Mon Jul 22 1996 21:52 | 8 |
| Re. 1
The Router Configurator V1.0 does not support
the DECnis - only RouteAbouts and DECswitches with
routing code. DECnis support is being worked on and
will be available in a later release.

| 3690.6 | Router Manager support for DECnis | NETCAD::FORINO | | Mon Jul 22 1996 22:05 | 36 |
| Router Manager relies on Mib-II and other standard
mibs for most of its functionality. In the case of
DECnis Router Manager should cover the following
functionality:
FDDI
Ethernet
Spanning Tree
IP
Chassis Info
Box map
Discovery
IP Path tracing
There is no support for
IPX Path Tracing
Accounting
IPX
Appletalk
DECnet
Frame Relay
X.25
Source Route Bridging
Router Manager was developed to work primarily with the
RouteAbout and DECswitch routers. Any support that you
got for DECnis was by default and no specific work was
planned (or is planned) for DECnis. Likewise, because
Router Manager supported CISCO there is also a lot of
coverage for the DECBrouter 90 family.

PS. Can the person who had problems with IP Path
tracing supply a few more details for the problem?

| 3690.7 | Should we sell them? | JULIET::yosmte::HARRIS_MA | Sales Executive II | Mon Jul 22 1996 23:40 | 10 |
| RE: -.last few
It sounds like we ALL want to avoid selling DECnis Routers since network
management software (clearVISN) is not currently supporting
(and none planned) going to address the DECnis products now or in
the future.
Ouch. Yikes!

| 3690.9 | more on DECnis | NETCAD::FORINO | | Thu Jul 25 1996 21:18 | 5 |
| RE -.7
The issue is not the network management support
you get for DECNIS in Router Manager. The issue is the
level of SNMP support you get from the DECnis itself.

| 3690.10 | In FY98 we'll have a Saleable Routing Strategy | JULIET::yosmte::HARRIS_MA | Sales Executive II | Wed Jul 31 1996 17:01 | 22 |
| RE: -.1
Oh, I totally agree. It's the Router itself. I think NPBU stopped
significant investments into the DECnis way before the RouteAbout and
clearVISN and SNMP era started. Perhaps a year or more. Too bad, since
we basically have no SALEABLE "Routing Strategy" as such today. Just a
bunch of fairly un-related varying size shape feature boxes. Yes, they all
speak OSPF and RIP, but not too much else in common. Not feature set,
not management, etc. We could say Cisco, Bay and 3com are all the same
'family' for that matter...
I realize that RouteAbout is the direction, but we clearly DO NOT have
a family yet. Even the code in the 900EF is very lightly sold due to
performance issues being hit over our heads anytime we started getting
excited about using it as a solution.
The finger is not pointing to clearVISN engineering, but much closer
to the AC power cord!
