    I'll leave the HUBwatch folks to answer what plans they may or may not
    have around this - I know it has been discussed a lot.
    
    That having been said, for simple configuration changes you could use
    any tool that can generate SNMP and supports scripting.  The MIBs you
    need are all available through the DEChub Engineering WWW server:
    
    	http://www-dechub.lkg.dec.com/external-info/mibs.html
    
    and on gatekeeper via anonymous ftp in the directory 
    
    	/pub/DEC/hub900/mibs
    
    which is also accessible via DECnet on the node DECWRL, but I don't
    know the VMS syntax for translating the directory path.
    
    There has been a little discussion of setting up some script using
    Polycenter Netview to monitor (not configure) the 900 in the NETVIEW
    conference.

    From VMS use DECWRL::"/pub/DEC/hub900/mibs" to access area.

| 737.3 | Auto config utils today? | YUPPY::CURRY |  | Fri Feb 18 1994 05:49 | 16 | 
|  |     Thanks for the replies.
    
    I'd still like to know if we can expect this functionality from
    HUBwatch though?
    
    If automated configuration scripting isn't going to be available under
    HUBwatch - 
    Is anyone aware if there is a utility available to generate
    SNMP configuration scripts and use them to configure HUBs and modules
    on the same LAN?
    Can this be done with POLYCENTER NetView?
    (NB. Note also enterd in NETVIEW notes file)

Can you give a little more info about what you mean by config'ing the
modules?  Do you mean something like "I want this repeater/server to
be configured like that repeater/server."?  Or do you mean more than
that?

| 737.5 | Need to config lots of HUBS.... | YUPPY::CURRY |  | Fri Feb 18 1994 11:13 | 15 | 
|  |     Yes, it would be useful to automatically configure a particular module
    like another module.
    
    But also I would like to be able to pre-build a number of configuration 
    scripts and then when I go to a customer site "activate" them from a
    management station (like PNV).
    
    I am involved in a project where we need to configure approx' 20
    DEChub900s (with various modules) and we're trying to figure out the
    easiest way of doing it. 
    NB. We start configuration work on the customer site May 1994.
    
    Thanks
