Sorry for wasting your time with my question, turned out that the answer was
easily at hand when I just looked in the right place.
Well ... I did a little research and found the following :
all you can do directly on the DECswitch 900EE (by hooking up to it with a
terminal) is to configure the basic stuff on the switch itself (such as its
IP-adress and other administrative thingies)
If you want to do anything more advanced you have to use an SNMP Manager. The
fun part is that the default firmware in the switch only support MAC adress and
protocol filtering. Its not possible to get it to filter on IP-adresses. For it
to do that we have to upgrade the firmware to digitals standard routing
firmware.
Now all I need is an SNMP Manager -- Ideas anyone ?
My original question :
Hello all,
I have 2 networks -- 1 PC-network and 1 DU (Alpha 255 and 1000) network (both
TCP/IP). Only selected PCes should be allowed to access the DU network for
running some MMC software.
I am going to use a DECswitch 900 EE to control what PCes that are allowed to
enter the DU network (from their IP-adresses). How do I accomplish this ? All
the doc I have is the DECswitch 900 EE installation guide, and all I can find
there that seems to remotely adress my problem is how to add SNMP Trap
adresses. Since I dont know what and SNMP trap adress is or does (yep, please
enlighten me), I am kind of reluctant to just jump for that option.
Anyone know what should I do ? Is it the SNMP trap adresses I should add ? Do
I
need some other piece of software ? Is the options for adding ip-adresses to
filter through in some menu that is not described in the manual I have ? (I
dont have the switch here, so I cant check) - any suggestions are most
welcome.
TIA
