CHAPTER 7

WORKGROUP MIB OBJECTS

7.1 OVERVIEW

You can use a Cabletron Systems Network Management System (NMS), or a standard SNMP-based Network Management System, to manage the SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27TX. This section describes Workgroup configuration using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

You should have a familiarity with networking concepts and principles. In addition, a basic understanding of SNMP is helpful. SNMP Configuration information is shown on the following pages.

7.2 WORKGROUPS USING SNMP

The ELS10-27TX has support for the following OBJECT-IDENTIFIERs in the enterprise specific area. There are three Read-Only Workgroup variables, and four Read/Write Workgroup Table variables.

7.2.1 Next Number (WorkGroupNextNumber)

The next available workgroup number to be used. When creating a new workgroup, it is recommended to read the value of the variable and use it to key into the workgroup table.
