Management

This section describes the management options for the switch.

SNMP

The SmartStack STS16-20D/STS16-20R can be managed via a SNMP manager. The SmartStack STS16-20D/STS16-20R supports ten Management Information Bases (MIBs). Six of the MIBs are standard MIBs, which are defined by RFCs and are included with most SNMP management applications. Four of the MIBs are proprietary and are provided on the disk that accompanies the SmartStack STS16- 20D/STS16-20R. SNMP management is supported via IP and MAC.

The following MIBs are supported:

Specification	MIB


RFC1213	MIB II

RFC1493	Bridge MIB

RFC1525	SR Bridge MIB

RFC1573	Evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB-II

RFC1757/1513	RMON MIB/TR extensions - Only partial support

RFC1749/1748	IEEE 802.5 MIB

DTR MIB	IEEE 802.5r MIB

DTR MAC MIB	IEEE 802.5r MIB

STS16 MIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.285

STS16 MIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.9 (crosslinks)

Table 8. Supported MIBs

Most user configurable variables will be supported in either the standard MIBs or the proprietary MIB. Configuration settings, such as port attributes, and operational information, such as address tables, are fully accessible through SNMP. Certain other settings, such as passwords and console settings, cannot be viewed or modified via SNMP for security reasons.
