CHAPTER 2
TCP/IP MIB-II
The ELS10-26 supports the TCP/IP MIB-II, as defined by Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/ IP-based Internets MIB-II, RFC 1213 (K. McCloghrie, editor), dated March 1991. The MIB is divided into groups of parameters. The individual groups are described in the subsections below. You may want to refer to the actual TCP/IP MIB, since this document paraphrases the standard MIB in order to provide ELS10-26-related descriptions.
Note: The access types of some of the TCP/IP MIB parameters have been extended from Read-Only to Read-Write. However, unless otherwise indicated, the access type of all parameters is as indicated in the standard MIB.
The MIB tree prefix for reaching the TCP/IP MIB-II is:
1.3.6.1.2.1.
2.1 SYSTEM GROUP
The TCP/IP System Group parameters are described below.
sysDescr | {system 1} |
DisplayString Read-Only | |
A textual description of the ELS10-26 is Cabletron “moduleName” Rev “FirmwareRevision” “LinkTimeandDate” i.e., Cabletron ELS10-26 Rev xx:xx:xx 03/04/97--11:30:25
sysObjectID | {system 2} |
Object Identifier Read-Only | |
The identifier of the variable used to identify the type of entity. Cabletron’s MIB sysID parameter will have a value that indicates that it is a bridge. So sysObjectID contains the object identifier of
