TRMMIM management information base configuration

IETF MIB Support

In addition to its proprietary features, the TRMMIM currently supports the following IETF MIBs:

RFC 1213 MIB for Network Management of TCP/IP-based Internets: MIB-II

RFC 1271 Remote Network Monitoring MIB

RFC 1757 Token Ring Extensions to RMON

TRMMIM MIB Structure

Cabletron’s newer intelligent devices — like the TRMMIM — organize MIB data into a series of “components.” A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIB data, and each group controls a defined set of objects. For example, for each ring that is formed in the MMAC chassis, there will be an individual network component that contains all management information specific to that particular ring.

The TRMMIM MIB consists of six component groups, each of which is described below. Note, however, that at any given time, the MIB component list displayed by your TRMMIM may not include some of the components described below, since the TRMMIM has the ability to alter the components which make up its MIB in response to changes in the chassis. For example, if you have two rings formed in the hub, you will see two “Network” components; if at any time you form a third logical ring, the necessary MIB component will automatically appear in the chCompTable. To see which MIB components are currently being used in your TRMMIM, bring up the Community Names application, or use any SNMP Get operation that will allow you to view the contents of the chCompTable.
