IETF MIB Support
In addition to its proprietary features, the 7C0x SmartSwitch currently supports the following IETF MIBs:
•RFC 1213 MIB for Network Management of
•RFC 1493 Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges
•RFC 1512 FDDI Management Information Base
•RFC 1757 Remote Network Monitoring MIB
7C0x SmartSwitch MIB Structure
Cabletron’s newer intelligent devices — like the 7C0x SmartSwitch — organize MIB data into a series of “components.” A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIB data, and each group controls a defined set of objects. For example, 7C0x bridging information is organized into its own component, and SecureFast switching resides in a separate component; RMON functionality is contained within its own component; and an ATM component will be instantiated whenever a
The 7C0x SmartSwitch MIB consists of up to nine components, each of which is described below. Note, however, that at any given time, the MIB component list displayed by your 7C0x may not include some of the components described below, since the SmartSwitch has the ability to alter the components which make up its MIB in response to changes in the chassis. For example, if no FDDI or ATM NIMs are installed, the related MIB components will not appear in the list; similarly, either the bridge or the switch component will be instantiated,
