    You can manage the DECbrouter 90 with HUBwatch V2.0.
    However, the Brouters SNMP support is limited.  Most of the
    heavy duty configuration needs to be done from the console.
    
    HUBwatch provides a telnet window so you can invoke the console
    from the management station

The same screens that can be used for the DECbrouter 90's can also be used
for the Cisco IGS (HUBwatch for Windows V2.0, OpenVMS V3.0).

    For customers who already own Ciscoworks (in this case it is running 
    on SUNNET MGR), are there any limitations in managing the DECbrouter 90
    this way, as opposed to via Hubwatch?
    
    					Thx, Stan

CiscoWorks is an ideal platform to manage DECbrouter 90's, assuming
it supports the DECbrouter 90's.  As near as I can tell, CiscoWorks uses
TELNET to setup and control the brouters.  It gives far more control and
status than you can get through HUBwatch (or any SNMP manager) because the
brouters' support for SNMP is pretty limited.

    What statistics and counters can be monitored using the agent on the
    DECbrouter 90? 
    
    Can someone give me a pointer to documentation for this?
    
    Thanks,
