1271.0. "Update on SNMP please" by 42721::HARVEY (Baldly going into the unknown...) Wed Mar 09 1994 16:22

   I've perused this notesfile for info on MIBS and SNMP management of the 
   DECbridge 500/600s and found much of it to be somewhat dated. Can someone 
   please provide me with an update on what the current state of play is in 
   regards to SNMP management of DECbridges ?
 
   I have a number of questions being asked which I need to respond to namely 
   :-
 
   - what MIBS are supported/required to SNMP manage DECbridge 520s ?
 
   - how does the customer get them ? If he has no external access to the likes 
   of Internet and Gatekeeper etc. can we ship them ? Do we charge for this ?
 
   - how does the customer ascertain which version of code his bridges are 
   running if he has no management via ELMS/DECmcc/SNMP ? 
 
 
   The customer has a SUN based SNMP manager - I have yet to find out which 
   "flavour"....
 
   Thanks for any guidance/help.

1271.1One more thing..42721::HARVEYBaldly going into the unknown...Wed Mar 09 1994 16:269
   Forgot to ask....
 
   At some stage I think the customer has attempted to access the DECbridge via 
   his SNMP manager and got a message saying something about "community 
   strings".. Can anyone clarify just what this is likely to be about ?
