Management Information Base (MIB)
A MIB (Management Information Base) is an element used in network management with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and a management station running a management application, such as Hewlett Packard’s Open View. The management application uses GETs and SETs to get system information and set system environment variables.
The ADIC private MIB can be accessed via Ethernet and is both a diagnostic and a configuration tool for the FCR200.
The following sections outline what MIB information is available for each interface type on the ADIC MIB. For more information on accessing the ADIC MIB, contact a support representative.
MIB Fibre Channel Interface Information
