(RADIATOR) SNMP, Simultaneous-Use and Redback SMS500

[Toomas Kärner]

Hi Hugh,

We also use Redback equipment. At the moment we always assume that session
DB is correct, but I'd like to chek also. So far I haven't found a suitable
NasType parameter. Only place where Redback is mentioned in the ref.pdf is
section about dictionaries (v.2.19 & v.3.1). Could you tell us what type
might be most suitable?
I have also the same problem with Unisphere ERX family equipment.

Rgds.
