I'm sortof considering it. I can certainly do SNMP agent and client for
RSX. Probably skipping some of the horrors in v3.
But I'm still left with the problem that when I look at something, and
start following the path of packets I'll get to a Cisco box, and the
only thing I have is the DECnet node number. I don't have any way of
talking SNMP based on that information... Unless the Cisco box actually
talks SNMP over DECnet.

SNMP implementation would seem to be a logical thing to do.

Won't help much when I'm sitting at my
RSX machine and try to
troubleshoot something...
But sure, if someone writes a tool that runs under RSX that can
extract information, and preferably do that given a DECnet nodename,
then it would certainly help.

Just wanted to say thank you all for responding
to my original request.
Johnny - the part of the MIB most people posted here makes it less of
a black hole; it tells you the areas, hops and cost the Cisco sees
when you are calculating why some area is going through North America
for example. You could ask for a confidential read-only password from
Cisco owners. foobar for mine will continue to work.
