We would like to monitor our servers to get an idea
of the usage, to answer the inevitable questions:
Who is using then? Are they reaching capacity etc?

Is SNMP the way to do resource monitoring? Just UNIX for now!
Has anyone run across an SNMP MIB that defines
system resources - things like CPU usage, Disk utilization etc. 
How about user resource utilization?
Of course the next question is: What about an agent that
works with the "resource" MIB?

Any info/thoughts wold be welcome!
in haste,

The bsd4.4 data structures, under radix.h, among other places have changed from bsd4.3-net2. 
Does any one know of an updated version, that I could get the source to?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Summary: question regarding SDLC Point-to-Point Full Duplex
Keywords: SDLC
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 12:40:36 GMT

This is regarding SDLC Point-to-Point Full Duplex.  Question is,
if the primary sends a Poll (eg: RR-P) followed by
couple of I-frames, should the secondary stick with the original
Nr (at the time the poll was received), or should it keep updating
the Nr;  correspondingly, should the primary do the same?

If this were to be true, then isn't it possible, that within one
POLL/FINAL exchange, any number of I-frames can be exchanged
between the Primary and the Secondary.

Could someone give an explanation; or point to some document with
these details.  The IBM SDLC document, simply has one scenario
regarding the Point-to-Point Full Duplex operation, without any
detailed discussion.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
divya

In fact numerous implementations including IBM's do seem to change the
Nr value from I frame to adjacent I frame or RR. But your question is
"should they", not "do they" ... that is certainly unclear from the
IBM specs. I would be so bold as to state that a good implementation
should accept such behavior from a peer, but provide an option for
this behavior for local transmissions.

Yes. Which makes it look very much like an HDLC implementation.

I am posting this question on behalf of a friend who has no access to
the net.

He is looking for communications products for DOS and/or OS/2 with a
counterpart in an IBM mainframe. The main purpose is file transfer.

The product should run on top of LU6.2.

The mainframe application program should run under CICS or IMS.

Standard products will be prefered.

The scenario includes a number of mainframes, IBM3745 communications
controllers and a large number of PS/2s and PCs spread all over the
country. LANs will be IBM token ring. WANs will be SNA.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me anything about how graPHIGS interacts
with an X server? Given that certain graPHIGS utilities are
not supported by X, what form do these requests take when 
sent to the server? e.g. say to enable HLHSR, graPHIGS
tries to send the request, but it's not supported by X. Is there
any systematic way to intercept requests such as these so that 
some processing can be done?

Organization: Finnish University and Research Network
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1992 08:01:37 GMT

   I am using Brixton PPP version 1.2 on a SparcStation 1+ clone with an
   Aurora Technologies 4-port sync card.  I am trying to connect with
   a Cisco router at the other end (don't know anything about it, except

I once connected 3Com NetBuilder and Cisco together with PPP.
Fortunately I had protocol analyzer, so I could see what
happens on serial line.

Cisco doesn't support any negotiation of parameters. If other side
tries to negotiate ANY parameter, Cisco discards request.

NetBuilder didn't negotiate any parameters in LCP -> no problem.

NetBuilder wanted to "negotiate" IP addresses with IPCP. Cisco
discarded request. NetBuilder was smart enough to try again
without any IPCP parameters, and IPCP got up. (However, when 
NB didn't get Cisco's IP address via IPCP, I had to add static
route for it.)

I have done this with Cisco software 8.? and 9.0.

My guess for your case: Brixton tries to negotiate some IPCP
parameters, and Cisco doesn't like it. Unnumbered interface on
Cisco might also cause problems.

hi,

I have waited for about a week and have not seen any posting related this 
question, so I guess it should be OK for me to ask it now ??

I have a PC at home, usually I use the modem to dial-in to a terminal server,
the server will prompt for a machine name, after I enter my machine name, 
the server then login to the machine for me.

my question is this,
is it possible after I log-in to my machine (SUN Sparc 4.1.1), start some
program, push the ppp line discipline (or whatever needs to be done), and 
starts a PPP connection with my PC ??

I think our terminal server probably supports PPP connetion too, but if I can
start the PPP connection on my own machine, I can have more control over the
PPP connection, and I can also learn the PPP protocol better.

any information or pointer is greatly appreciated.

In our testing, cisco routers don't discard requests, they (correctly)

   My guess for your case: Brixton tries to negotiate some IPCP
   parameters, and Cisco doesn't like it.

And apparently Brixton doesn't handle the rejection well.  If you can,
try configuring the Brixton end so it doesn't request so much.  But
since newer cisco software handles a larger variety of negotiated
options, perhaps the Brixton end isn't prepared to handle (or
correctly reject) all that the cisco requests.

Either way, you'd have to watch the negotiations progress to see what
made them unhappy with each other.

(Sounds like I'm giving advice to the lovelorn, doesn't it? :-)

We just got out internet connection so we may connect our network to
the internet (via dialup).  Unfortunatly (and not surprisingly) our
current IP address structure is not compatible:

Given the configuration above, we would like to attach other machines
we have on "our network" to the internet but are not looking forward
to the hassles of changing all of our ip addresses to suit the
internet requirements.  Is there some sort of gateway/router that
would convert packets such as 89.x.x.x to 192.232.24.y given a
table?  Is this at least concievable given that the masks are so much
different?  If anyone has a solution, please feel free to email me.
It would be best if this can be done via a PC program (KA9Q is the
router for above) however, we do have suns at our disposal to some
extent.
 
Thanks in advance,

Summary: LCP comes up fine, IPCP says support LCP closed 
Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link

I am using Brixton PPP version 1.2 on a SparcStation 1+ clone with an
Aurora Technologies 4-port sync card.  I am trying to connect with
a Cisco router at the other end (don't know anything about it, except
that it uses an "un-numbered" interface or something like that).  This
link is for our main internet feed.  On the same Sparc, I have two other
links to similar equipment via 56K lines [to Sparcs, not to Cisco's]
and they work fine.  

Here is some of the output that I get:

BPOP0015 : (0) Display of object: LCP03
(0)    LCP State = Open


BPOP0015 : (0) Display of object: IPCP03
(0)    IPCP State = Supporting LCP CLosed
(0)    Desired State = Active Open
(0)    Supporting LCP = LCP03

The LCP sure looks open to me!  Are there any peculiarities with Brixton
or with Cisco?  Brixton, of course, says they follow the spec closely,
but I have heard otherwise.  Reason for post:  their tech support doesn't
seem to return my calls with any frequency and the tech support at PSI
says this is an unsupported method of connecting, but they will take
my money anyway (which they did).  I'd really rather not buy a Cisco,
since they cost more than the whole Sparc setup did.

Thanks for any help.

Drop me a mail with a repliable address and I send you pop3d for Ultrix.
REMEMBER:
pop <> ppp
a valid From: or Reply-To: entry

Hope this helps...
