LNM AIX getting TR config from 8229

ITEM: RTA000053107



QUESTION:                                                                       
Is there any way to issue a ring poll from the LNM for AIX function to          
a managed 8229 in SNMP mode?                                                    
My account is replacing Andrews bridges with 8229s and getting                  
NV4AIX. A couple of their locations have 8228s and will                         
probably not migrate anytime soon. They currently are running LNM for           
OS/2 and seeing the ring topology. They would like to get similar               
function on LNM for AIX.

A: LNM for AIX (and the LNM function within the 5/96 V2 of Nways                
   Campus Manager - LAN for AIX) can communicate with an 8229 in SNMP           
   mode to get the token-ring configuration of connected LANs. This             
   is called the "SNMP TR Surrogate Agent" function and must be                 
   enabled in the LNM installation (or NCM LAN).
