SEHI MIB Structure

Newer versions of devices with this component-based MIB architecture have been simplified somewhat; these devices support a single, global set of community names, with small modifications added automatically to accommodate multiple instances of the same MIB component (as occurs with the SEHI’s Network components). Again, defining your device icon or launching a management application with one of these global community names gives SPMA access to all MIB information.

Where community names may become an issue, however, is when you are using the MIBTree or any similar MIB-based tool (such as those provided by SunNet Manager or HP Network Node Manager) to access MIB information. For these kinds of tools, you must supply the precise community name assigned to the component that contains the information you want. For devices which support the original component-based MIB architecture, this means you must use the exact community name you have assigned to a specific component to access that component’s MIB information. (Again, note that the SEHI’s Network components always have unique community names.) For devices which support the new global community names, you must make note of the automatic modifications that are made for network components, and use those specific community names when trying to access information stored in those components.

The MIB component descriptions provided above will serve as a roadmap for determining where the information you’re interested in is located; you can use the SPMA Community Names tool (described in Chapter 3 of the SPMA Tools Guide) to determine whether your version of firmware supports the original component- based MIB architecture, or the new global community names. The Community Names tools also allows you to both view and set the community names which apply to your device.

SEHI-22/24, SEHI-32/34 specifications

Cabletron Systems was a notable player in the networking hardware market during the rise of local area networks (LANs) in the late 20th century. Among its innovative products were the SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34 modules, which were designed to enhance network capabilities in enterprise environments.

The SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34 were versatile high-performance Ethernet switch modules that offered significant advantages in network management and connectivity. These modules were designed to work with Cabletron's modular switching and routing architecture, allowing for scalable solutions tailored to specific network demands. A key feature of the SEHI series was its support for a range of Ethernet standards, ensuring compatibility with diverse networking environments.

One notable characteristic of the SEHI-22/24 was its ability to support both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet technologies. This dual support enabled organizations to leverage existing 10 Mbps infrastructure while facilitating upgrades to 100 Mbps speeds without needing a complete overhaul of the network. Similarly, the SEHI-32/34 offered even greater connectivity options, accommodating more users and devices while maintaining high throughput and low latency.

In terms of management features, the SEHI series was equipped with extensive traffic management capabilities, including Quality of Service (QoS) features that prioritized bandwidth for critical applications. This ensured that essential services such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing could function optimally, even during heavy network loads.

Furthermore, both modules featured advanced diagnostics and monitoring tools that provided network administrators with critical insights into traffic patterns and potential bottlenecks. This functionality was essential for maintaining network health and optimizing performance, especially in dynamic business environments.

Security also played a crucial role in the design of the SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34. The modules incorporated support for various authentication methods and access controls, ensuring that sensitive data remained protected within the corporate network.

In summary, Cabletron Systems’ SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34 offered significant advancements in Ethernet switching technology, allowing organizations to build robust, scalable, and secure networks. With their impressive features, compatibility, and capacity for management and security, these modules were instrumental in shaping reliable networking solutions for enterprises navigating the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
