The MicroMMAC-T Chassis View
The Chassis Manager Window
Like most networking devices, Cabletron’s devices draw their functionality from a collection of proprietary MIBs and IETF RFCs. In addition, Cabletron’s newer intelligent devices – like the MicroMMAC-T – organize their 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, MicroMMAC-T chassis information is organized into its own component; network information resides in another component. Note, too, that there is no one-to-one correspondence between MIBs and MIB components; a single MIB component might contain objects from several different proprietary MIBs and RFCs.
The Chassis Manager window, Figure 2-3, is a read-only window that displays the MIBs and the MIB components — and, therefore, the functionality — supported by the currently monitored device.
To view the Chassis Manager window:
1.Click on Help on the menu bar at the top of the Chassis View window.
2.Click on MIBs Supported.
MIB Components are listed here; remember, there’s no one-to-one correspondence between MIBs and MIB Components
The MIBs which provide the MicroMMAC-T’s functionality — both proprietary MIBs and IETF RFCs — are listed here

In addition to the graphical displays described above, a menu option available at the device-level provides specific information about the physical characteristics of the MicroMMAC-T module.
