Cisco WAN Switching Proprietary MIB Structure

Cisco WAN Switching Proprietary MIB Structure

This section is an overview of the Cisco WAN Switching proprietary MIB. The proprietary MIB resides under the enterprises branch of the SNMP tree structure (1.3.6.1.4.1.StrataCom (351)). For detailed information on the structure and contents of the MIB, refer to the actual MIB that is included on the release tape. The MIB is in ASN.1 format.

The MIB provides network managers with BPX information on a per switch basis. This information in the MIB relates to ATM service. The SNMP agent MIB has two major branches of information. These are the Switch Service Objects and Switch Connections.

Each variable in the MIB also includes the following:

•An access level (read-only, read-write, or no access)

•A defined MIB view, which allows appropriate agents to have access to platform-specific information

Switch Service Objects

The higher level Switch Services branch shows the available ATM services. This service information exists in a configuration table and a statistics table for each logical port on the switch. The configuration parameters for a logical port allow the manager to view and modify a specified available port. The statistics table gives the manager access to real-time counter statistics associated with a specified available port.

Switch Connections

The Switch Connections branch supports per switch management of ATM connections. In this branch, the MIB defines the following:

•

•

•

•

•

Connections—a general view of all available ATM connections on a switch

Endpoints

Bandwidth class
