393.0. "does DECserver 90M need DECagent 90?" by 501CLB::WOODALL (MACRO is the best.) Mon Sep 20 1993 09:26

    If the only devices in the DEChub 90 are DECserver 90M, is there a need
    for the DECagent 90 or can HUBwatch manage the 90M since it is SNMP
    capable already.
    
    Thanks.

No, not really.

You will be able to completely manage your DECserver 90M's (or 90TL's) as
standalone agents through HUBwatch without a DECagent 90.  

The only information HUBwatch  will not be able to get without a DECagent 90
is the slot number of each DECserver.  Otherwise, HUBwatch does not use the
DECagent 90 at all when managing the 90M. (or 90TL or brouters)

	$ watch /agent /ip=<ip of decserver>

On the other hand, I suspect we do make some amount of profit from each 
DECagent 90 that is sold...  :-)
