Management Information Base (MIB)

The MIB includes a collection of managed objects. A managed object is defined as a parameter that can be managed, such as a performance statistics value. The MIB includes the definitions of relevant managed objects. Various MIBs can be defined for various management purposes or types of equipment.

An object definition includes the range of values (also called instances) and the following access rights:

•Read-only: Instances of that object can be read, but cannot be set.

•Read-write: Instances of that object can be read or set.

•Write-only: Instances of that object can be set, but cannot be read.

•Not accessible: Instances of that object cannot be read, or set.

MIB Structure

The MIB has an inverted tree-like structure, with each definition of a managed object forming one leaf, located at the end of a branch of that tree.

Each leaf in the MIB is reached by a unique path. Thus, by numbering the branching points starting with the top, each leaf can be uniquely defined by a sequence of numbers.

The formal description of the managed objects and the MIB structure is provided in a special standardized format, called ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation 1). Since the general collection of MIBs can also be organized in a similar structure, under IAB (Internet Activities Board) supervision, any parameter included in a MIB that is recognized by the IAB is uniquely defined.

To provide the flexibility necessary in a global structure, MIBs are classified in various classes (branches). One is the experimental branch and another the group of private (enterprise-specific) branch.

Under the private enterprise-specific branch of MIBs, each enterprise (manufacturer) can be assigned a number, which is its enterprise number. The assigned number designates the top of an enterprise-specific sub-tree of non- standard MIBs. Within this context, RAD has been assigned the enterprise number 164. Therefore, enterprise MIBs published by RAD can be found under 1.3.6.1.4.1.164.

MIBs of general interest are published by the IAB in the form of a Request for Comment (RFC) document. In addition, MIBs are also often assigned informal names that reflect their primary purpose. Enterprise-specific MIBs are published and distributed by their originator, who is responsible for their contents.

MIBs Supported by the IPmux-1/1E 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 IPmux-1/1E SNMP agent are:

•rfc1213.mib (except the interfaces view which is supported via RFC 2233)

•ianaiftype.mib (defines the ifType)

IPmux-1E, IPmux-1 specifications

RAD Data Comm is a renowned manufacturer known for its high-quality communication solutions, and among its notable offerings are the IPmux-1 and IPmux-1E devices. These compact and versatile products are designed for efficient network integration and data transport over various mediums including IP-based networks.

The IPmux-1 is a powerful multiplexer that enables the transmission of multiple channels of voice, data, and even fax over a single IP link. It supports various protocols such as E1, T1, and V.35, making it an ideal solution for businesses looking to optimize their existing infrastructure while upgrading to more modern technologies. The device is also equipped with advanced features such as payload compression and error correction, which ensure high-quality performance even over less reliable networks.

On the other hand, the IPmux-1E is an enhanced version of the original device, featuring additional capabilities that extend its flexibility and functionality. This model supports a higher density of channels and offers advanced management and monitoring tools that provide users with detailed insights into network performance. The IPmux-1E is particularly beneficial for service providers and enterprises that require a more robust solution capable of handling greater bandwidth and multiple service types across a single platform.

Both IPmux models utilize advanced packet-processing technology, facilitating seamless data encapsulation and reducing latency, which is critical in today’s fast-paced digital environment. They are designed to easily integrate with existing infrastructure, allowing organizations to transition smoothly to a more modern telecommunications framework without the need for significant investment in new hardware.

Key characteristics of the IPmux-1 and IPmux-1E include their reliability, low power consumption, and rugged design suitable for deployment in various locations. Their modular architecture offers users the flexibility to scale their systems according to evolving needs.

In summary, RAD Data Comm's IPmux-1 and IPmux-1E devices provide an excellent solution for organizations seeking to consolidate their voice and data services into a single network infrastructure. With their advanced features, support for various protocols, and robust performance, they are well-suited for both enterprise and service provider applications, ensuring efficient communication and data management in today's increasingly connected world.
