Cabletron Systems SEHI100TX-22 A Brief Word About MIB Components and Community Names

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.

SEHI100TX LIM

The SEHI100TX LIM, or Local Management, component contains the objects that

provide out-of-band management via the Console port on the SEHI100TXÕs front

panel. No objects from this component are used for remote management.

Repeater One

The Repeater MIB component controls all repeater functionality on the

SEHI100TX. These functions include port count, port enable/disable, port status,

board number, repeater statistics (packets, bytes, collisions, errors, etc.), protocol

counts, and frame sizes; also included are the alarm, redundancy, source

addressing, and trap functions. Note that the default community names for the

Repeater MIB component will always be different from the default names

assigned to all the other components.

SEHI100TX Host Services

The Host Services MIB component contains the objects that provide the

SEHI100TX with its IP functionality Ñ essentially, those functions which allow

the SEHI100TX to operate over a network Ñ including functions such as ping,

Telnet, and TFTP.

SEHI100TX IP Services

The IP Services MIB component is not currently used by the SEHI100-TX, but is

reserved for future use.

A Brief Word About MIB Components and Community Names

In the original version of the component MIB architecture, each MIB component is

protected by its own set of user-conÞgurable Read-Only, Read/Write, and Super-

User community names. These names determine the level of access that will be

granted to the information controlled by each individual component. For these

devices, the central point of access for remote management is provided by the

Chassis MGR MIB component Ñ that is, if you deÞne your device icon or launch

a management application using the read-only, read/write, or super-user

community name assigned to the Chassis MGR MIB component, your SPMA

application is granted the appropriate level of access (read-only, read/write, or

super-user) to all of that deviceÕs MIB information Ñ even if the other MIB

components have different community names (as will occur of necessity if the

SEHI100TX has multiple Repeater MIB components, each of which must have a

unique set of community names).
