Figure 1 - General View

The NH2025-10 contains a built-in SNMP agent running on the SNMP Processor Board. This allows each unit to be managed from a centralized management station through any SNMP- compliant NMS.

The SNMP agent software complies with the following standards:

RFC 1155 The Structure of Management Information (SMI) for TCP/IP Based Internets, May 1990

RFC 1212 The Management Information Base I (MIB I)

RFC 1213 The Management Information Base II (MIB II), March 1991.

RFC 1284 The Ethernet MIB

RFC 1286 The Bridge MIB

RFC 1757 The RMON MIB

The NH2025-10 also supports two NBase-Xyplex private MIBs: switch.mib and gswitch.mib.

The SNMP agent utilizes UDP/IP (RFC 768, RFC950, RFC1071 and RFC791) as OSI layers 3 and 4 protocols, ICMP (RFC792) and ARP (RFC826) to complete the UDP/IP protocol suite.

The UDP/IP stack implementation conforms to:

RFC 1122 Requirements for Internet hosts - communication layers.

RFC 1123 Requirements for Internet hosts - application and support.

The NH2025-10 may be managed by any SNMP Manager that conforms to the above standards. It may be fully managed by MegaVision, NBase-Xyplex’s multi-platform network management system. For more information on MegaVision, view our web site, or contact NBase-Xyplex for a data sheet.

The NH2025-10 implements an NBase-Xyplex Enterprise MIB and an NBase-Xyplex Product MIB that may be provided upon request.
