5993.0. "SNMP registration via proxy agent address" by ANNECY::TERHORST_C () Mon May 16 1994 10:04

I'm trying to register a snmp node within DECmcc, where the node 
itself does not have an IP address. What I'm doing is registering
the IP node via the toolbox. When I have to fill in the form, I
cannot enter the field IP-ADDRESS, the only things I can fill in
are READ COMMUNITY NAME, WRITE COMMUNITY NAME and PROXY AGENT
ADDRESS. Now every time I click on the icon for that node and
all entities on that tree, I get the message PARTIALLY REGISTERED
and I have to acknowledge this every time. Is there a way to suppress
this message ???
The reason for this all is that it's sold to a customer this way,
and we won't annoying them with all these messages what have to be
acknowledged.

Thanks in advance,

            Chris ter Horst.

5993.1	Get an IP address	SCCA::dave	Ahh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.	`Mon May 16 1994 10:16`	7
	Give the node an IP address. All SNMP node (in MCC's view) have IP addresses. If you incorrectly set the customer expectation at the time of sale, then dont expect engineering to change the design of the product to bail you out.
5993.2	.1 = not the right question	ANNECY::HAGENMULLER	EIC Annecy - dtn 7887.41.99	`Tue May 17 1994 11:25`	14
	The problem we are faced with deals more with the proxy functionality than DECmcc normally provides : when an snmp entity is proxied (which means that another snmp entity acts on behalf of it) you must just register the entity as a snmp entity without IP address. This causes DECmcc to display a warning message (not actually an error message) each time you perform an operation on it telling you that the entity is only partially registered : this is a drawback because we know that it is partially registered and don't need all these messages. Therefore the question is : can we suppress the display of this message ? thanks in advance, Christophe.

	You request is a very reasonable one. In fact, a last minute change in the iconic map interface added this "feature" of continuosly notifying the user that a node was partially registered. This was supposed to be fixed in the V1.3 "MUP" kit, which never made it out of the door. The fix actually might have been put in, in which case you just need to get your hands on the new IM/PM executable. Rahul.
