The ATX Switch Chassis View

The Chassis Manager Window

Like most networking devices, Enterasys and Cabletron ATX Switch management
modules draw their functionality from a collection of proprietary MIBs and IETF
RFCs. In addition, many Enterasys and Cabletron intelligent devices – like the
ATX Switch – 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, ATX Switch bridging information is organized into its
own 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,
the MIBs and the MIB components — and, therefore, the functionality —
supported by the currently monitored ATX Switch management module.
To view the Chassis Manager window:
1. Click on Help on the far right of the menu bar at the top of the chassis
2. Drag down to MIBs Supported, and release.
MIB Components are listed here;
remember, there's no one-to-one
correspondence between MIBs
and MIB Components
The MIBs which provide the
ATX Switch's functionality —
both proprietary MIBs and IETF
RFCs — are listed here

In addition to the graphical displays described above, menu options available at
several levels provide specific information about the physical characteristics of
the boards and ports in the ATX Switch Chassis, as well as information about the
ATX Switch itself.
