1201.0. "DC900 and Single mode PMD ?" by EVTAI1::GROSSETETE () Tue Jan 11 1994 08:50

    
    	Hi,
    
    	Could somebody confirm the following about the DECconcentrator 900?
    
    . is the DECconcentrator 900 acting as an IP services in a DEChub 900 ?
    
    . will the single mode interface (DEFXS-AA) be supported as a Port A (1)
      and B (6) at FCS (feb.94)?
    
    . will the single mode interface be supported as a Port M (2-5) at FCS
      (feb.94) ?
    
    . is the loss budget of the DEFXS-AA identical to the DEFCN single mode
      options (22dB with 12db minimum attenuation) ?
    
    	Regards
    	Patrick

    		No.   I have been told that when configuring the DC900 in a
    		Hub, that in order to supply SNMP management to the hub,
    		that I must install a card with an IP Address also.  Such
    		as the DECserver900.

Hi Patrick,

You might want to put this in ENGINE::HUB_MGNT conference. I don't know if the
DC900 will have IP Services for the MAM although I have heard they may put it in
all future MAX (900) modules. 

Re:.-1 The DECserver 900TM does not have IP services even though it does have an
IP address. You must use a DECrepeater 900TM currently.

Re .1: I wonder if this is correct.  My understanding is that all (big) modules
are supposed to implement IP services.

paul,

I just tried my DS900TM just before I wrote the note to make sure, I could not
set it up on the DS900TM via the SETUP port on the DH900. But it works fine when
I set it up on the DR900TM.

1201.5Clarification...MSDOA::REEDJohn Reed @CBO, DTN:367-6463, KB4FFE, SouthEastWed Jan 12 1994 10:308
    I spoke with Steve Allen (marketing) who told me that as he understood
    it, If I was to configure a DEChub900 with DECconcentrator modules only
    (for instance to build a large FDDI distribution point) that I couldn't
    manage it currently, without adding a DECrepeater900 module for the IP
    services to HubWatch.

1201.6IP Services is in the DC900PRSSOS::GROSSETETEWed Jan 12 1994 12:2115
    	Hi,
    
    	I just cross-posted the original note (.0) in hub_mgnt. I got
    the confirmation that the DECconcentrator 900 will act as an IP
    services module.
    
    	I am still looking for the other answers
    
    	I would like to add an other question :
    . since we don't support anymore RBMS protocol in our FDDI products,
      how could we get a FDDI map from MCC if we only have new products ?
      If not possible, is there any plan to do it from SNMP ?
