[comp.dcom.sys.cisco] Novell Diagnostics with cisco

hamish@waikato.ac.nz (05/21/91)

A quick question. Has anybody tried sending novell diagnostics packets to a
cisco router with novell routing turned on. As far as I can tell our cisco
doesn't seem to be replying to the broadcast like a normal novell
router/workstation should. In fact it doesn't seem to be replying at all.

Anyone done this or knows anything about it?

Hamish,

We don't have any support for the Novell diagnostics packets.  We prefer
to concentrate our network management efforts on SNMP.

And it would appear according to my novell 3.11 documentation, Novell prefers
to do this also....  Another fortress has fallen.

I'm glad cisco made the right decision 3 years ago!

And I speak without predjudice!  :-)
