Chapter 8 SNMP and RMON Management
This chapter describes the Switch’s Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote
Monitoring (RMON) capabilities. Topics include:
Overview
SNMP Agent and MIB-2
RMON MIB and Bridge MIB
PLANET private MIB

8.1 Overview

The Switch supports the following Management Information Bases (MIBs):
RFC1213 — which defines the second version of the MIB (MIB-II) for use with network
management protocols in TCP/IP- based Internets. See “SNMP Agent and MIB-2 (RFC1213)”.
RFC1493 — which defines objects for managing MAC bridges based on the IEEE 802.1D
standard between Local Area Network (LAN) segments. See “RMON MIB (RFC 1757) and Bridge
MIB (RFC 1493)” on page 359.
RFC1757 — which defines objects for managing remote network monitoring devices. See “RMON
MIB (RFC 1757) and Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)” on page359 .
RFC2674 — which defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with
network management protocols in TCP/IP based internets. In particular, it defines two MIB
modules for managing the new capabilities of MAC bridges defined by the IEEE 802.1D-1998
MAC Bridges and the IEEE 802.1Q-1998 Virtual LAN (VLAN) standards for bridging between
Local Area Network (LAN) segments.
PLANET private MIB — See “8.4 PLANET Private MIB” for detail.
