The \SNMP\NOVELL subdirectory contains the following files:

README.TXT    - This file.
DECFILES.EXE  - Self-extracting PKZIP file

The \SNMP\NOVELL\DECFILES.EXE file is a self-extracting PKZIP file which 
contains the following files:

DECSNMP.NLM   - NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) for SNMP management of the
		DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA and DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI under 
		NetWare 3.1X/4.X. 
RFC1512.MIB   - Management Information Base (MIB) file for the objects 
		implemented from the IETF FDDI SNMP MIB (RFC 1512).
DECEXT29.MIB  - Management Information Base (MIB) file for the objects 
		implemented from the DEC Extended MIB v2.9.

This file describes the operation of the DEC FDDIcontroller SNMP Management 
NLM (hereafter referred to as "Management NLM") which operates over the 
IPX and TCP/IP protocols on NetWare 3.1X/4.X servers.  The Management NLM 
instruments SNMP MIB objects from the following two MIBS:  RFC1512.MIB and 
DECEXT29.MIB.

RFC1512.MIB contains objects from RFC1512 (IETF FDDI SNMP MIB) which are 
supported under the Digital FDDI controllers.

DECEXT29.MIB contains objects from Digital's private MIB extensions which are 
supported under the Digital FDDI controllers.


Section 1  INSTALLING AND LOADING THE NOVELL SNMP AGENT
-------------------------------------------------------

The Novell NetWare SNMP Agent NLM (SNMP.NLM) must be installed and loaded
on your NetWare 3.1X/4.X server prior to loading the Management NLM.  If 
the SNMP Agent NLM is not loaded on your NetWare server, the Management NLM
attempts to auto-load it.  You can specify a control community string name 
when loading the SNMP Agent NLM.  For example, to load the SNMP Agent NLM 
with a control community name of "private", you would issue the following 
command at the System Console:

     :LOAD SNMP C=private

By setting a control community string name, you are allowing SNMP Set Request
operations to take place on your server.


Section 2  INSTALLING THE MANAGEMENT NLM ON THE SERVER
------------------------------------------------------
Perform the following steps to install DECSNMP.NLM:

I.   Verify that the FDDI network interface card (NIC) is properly
     configured and installed.  Refer to "DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA
     Installation" or "DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI User Information" for 
     instructions.

II.  Verify that the driver has been loaded and properly bound to IPX or IP.

III. Copy the DEC FDDIcontroller SNMP Management NLM (DECSNMP.NLM) to 
     either a DOS partition (substep IIIA.) or a NetWare partition 
     (substep IIIB.) of your NetWare 3.1X/4.X server hard disk.

     A. To copy the Management NLM to a DOS partition, you must run
	DECFILES.EXE -e *.NLM <target> where "<target>" is the destination
	directory for the files.  Here is an example command line:
	
	      A:\SNMP\NOVELL\DECFILES.EXE -e *.NLM C:\

	This will extract the DECSNMP.NLM file to the C:\ directory.  You 
	may substitute C:\ with another DOS partition and subdirectory.

     B. To copy the Management NLM to a NetWare partition, perform the
	following steps:

	1. From a DOS workstation, connect to the NetWare 3.1X/4.X server.

	2. Log in as user SUPERVISOR.

	3. Change to the SYS:SYSTEM directory by entering the following
	   command:

	      CD SYS:SYSTEM

	4. Copy the Management NLM to the current directory by entering
	   the following command:

	      A:\SNMP\NOVELL\DECFILES.EXE -e *.NLM

	   This will run the self-extracting PKZIP file and place the
	   DECSNMP.NLM file in the current directory (SYS:SYSTEM).

	5. Log out of the session.

IV.  Load the DEC FDDIcontroller SNMP Management NLM.

     To load the Management NLM, enter one of the following commands:
			
     A. If you installed DECSNMP.NLM using step IIIA., enter the following
	command at the System Console:

	   :LOAD C:\DECSNMP

     B. If you installed DECSNMP.NLM using step IIIB., enter the following
	command at the System Console:

	   :LOAD DECSNMP

	A drive path is not included at the load statement in the second
	example.  This is because the DECSNMP.NLM file is copied to the
	SYS:SYSTEM directory which is the NetWare 3.1X/4.X default server
	path.



Section 3  INSTALLING THE SNMP MANAGEMENT MIBS ON A NETWARE CLIENT
------------------------------------------------------------------

Perform the following steps to install RFC1512.MIB and DECEXT29.MIB to a
NetWare client running as a NetWare Management System Windows Console:

       1. Copy the RFC1512.MIB and DECEXT29.MIB files into the 
	  \SNMPMIBS\CURRENT subdirectory of the root directory in
	  which the NetWare Management System (NMS) files were installed
	  on the client.  For example, if the NMS files and directory
	  trees were installed on C:\NMS, use the following command to
	  extract the MIB files into the proper directory:
	    
	      A:\SNMP\NOVELL\DECFILES.EXE -e *.MIB C:\NMS\SNMPMIBS\CURRENT

       2. Enter the NetWare Management System and select the "Tools" option.

       3. Under the "Tools" option select "SNMP MIB Compiler" then enter
	  "Yes" at the "Mib Compiler" prompt.

       4. Enter "q" to quit when prompted to return to NetWare Management
	  System.

				NOTE
	  If in Section 1, SNMP.NLM was loaded without specifying a
	  community name, the default community name is "public".  This
	  will allow management stations to query the server (perform
	  Get operations) but will not allow the stations to modify any
	  management attributes.  If a community name other than "public"
	  was entered, you must use that same community name for all
	  Get and Set operations from the management station.
       
       5. To access the supported MIB objects perform the following steps:

	  a.  Under the "Tools" option select "MIB Browser".
	  b.  Select IPX or IP.
	  c.  Enter the IPX or IP address.
	  d.  If you wish to modify MIB attributes (perform Set operations)
	      enter the community name (not "public") set previously in
	      Section 1.
	  e.  Select an existing profile or create a new one.  If you 
	      entered a community name in Step 5d. also modify the profile 
	      community name.
	  f.  Save attributes.
	  g.  Click on "OK" to display the desired profile.

	Refer to your NetWare Management System documentation for more
	information on compiling MIB files and browsing MIB objects.
