Management Session
To perform online management commands, you establish a MOP console
carrier session with the bridge from any remote node.
After you connect to the bridge, the following prompt displays:
DECbridge>
When a bridge goes through a power cycle or is reset, the bridge begins
to poll repeaters for status. This process includes a special algorithm
to determine which repeater ports have stations attached. The time to
complete this algorithm depends on the number of repeaters and amount
of network activity. You should allow time for this process to complete
before proceeding to manage the hub. For the same reason, it may take
time for the system to report on stations or repeaters that are moved in
the hub. See Appendix C for more details.
Example of a typical management session
1.
Determine what repeaters are in the hub.

SHOW REPEATER
Hub 1 slot 5 ThinWire repeater, rev.0, 6 ports.
In this example, there is a ThinWire repeater (DECrepeater 90C) in
the same hub as the bridge (hub 1), if this is a 2-hub configuration.
The repeater is in slot 5 of the hub and has 6 ThinWire ports.
