7C0x SmartSwitch MIB Structure

depending on which functionality the device has been configured to use. To see which MIB components are currently being used in your 7C0x SmartSwitch, bring up the Community Names application, or use any SNMP Get operation that will allow you to view the contents of the contLogicalEntryTable.

The 7C0x SmartSwitch MIB consists of the following components:

Chassis MGR

The Chassis MGR MIB component contains most of the basic information about the 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller module, the chassis it is controlling, and the other modules installed in that chassis, including: chassis type, backplane type, number of slots, which module types and names are installed in which slots, the 7C0x’s MIB component information (in the contLogicalEntryTable), device and module names, hardware revision numbers, MAC and IP addresses, the current time and date, and information related to connected uninterruptable power supplies and TFTP download. The system, interfaces, at, ip, icmp, udp, and snmp groups from MIB-II and the objects that provide Local Management functionality are also included. The community names assigned to this MIB component provide the gateway that all SPMA applications use to access all information in the other components, even if those components have different community names; the Chassis MGR community names are the same as those assigned via Local Management.

CTATM_MIB

The ATM_MIB component contains the objects that provide the ATM NIM’s uplink port with its network functionality.

Transparent Bridge

The Transparent Bridge MIB component — instantiated only when the 7C0x has been configured (currently via Local Management) to operate in traditional bridging mode — controls all of the 7C0x’s transparent bridging functions, including bridge port description and status, bridging statistics (frames forwarded, frames blocked, etc.), and bridge configuration information.

NOTE

Since there are currently no Token Ring NIMs available for the 7C0x SmartSwitch chassis, no source route bridging functions are supported at this time.

IP Services

Like the Host Services MIB component, the IP Services MIB component contains some objects related to basic IP functionality.
