MIBs Supported by the FCD-IPM SNMP Agent

The interpretation of the relevant MIBs is a function of the SNMP agent of each managed entity. The general MIBs supported by the SNMP agent are as follows:

•RFC1213

•RFC1215

•RFC1231

•RFC1659 – RS-232

•RFC1398 – Ethernet (dot3)

•RFC1406 – DS1

•RFC1471 – PPP

•RFC1473 – PPP-IP-Group

•RFC1724 – RIP

•RFC2011

•RFC2096 – IP-FORWARD

•ianaIfType

•RFC2233 – IfMIB

•RFC2127 – ISDN

•RFC2128 – ISDN

•RFC2115 – FR

•RFC3276 – SHDSL

•RAD private MIB.

In addition, the FCD-IPM SNMP agent supports the RAD-private (enterprise- specific) MIB identified as (read the following as a continuous string):

Iso(0).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1). rad(164)

Enterprise-specific MIBs supported by RAD equipment, including those for

FCD-IPM, are available in ASN.1 format from the RAD Technical Support

Department.

Management Domains Under SNMP

SNMP enables, in principle, each management station that knows the MIBs supported by a device to perform all the management operations available on that device. However, this is not desirable in practical situations, so it is necessary to provide a means to delimit management domains.

SNMP Communities

To enable the delimitation of management domains, SNMP uses “communities”. Each community is identified by a name, which is an alphanumeric string of up to 255 characters defined by the user.

Any SNMP entity (this term includes both managed entities and management stations) is assigned by its user a community name. In parallel, the user defines for each SNMP entity a list of the communities which are authorized to communicate
