Gathering Repeater Statistics Through Snmp - 3Com CoreBuilder 5000 User Manual

Gathering Repeater Statistics Through SNMP

In addition to using DMM commands to gather information about
network traffic, you can submit SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) requests for MIB objects that provide specific network
management information (displays repeater port statistics defined in the
MIB RFC 2108).
You can also submit SNMP requests through 3Com network
management applications such as Transcend LANsentry. (Transcend
uses SNMP to retrieve statistics, monitor the networks, and manage
modules and hubs.)
An SNMP agent resides on the Advanced/DMM Controller Module, so
anyone that has access to a community (set up on the Advanced/DMM
agent) can use SNMP commands to read and set MIB variables
(Transcend is not required).
The following is an example of a SNMP GET command of the
ReadableOctets and Upper32Octets counters from port 1 of a 100 MB
Repeater (100BASE-TX Workgroup FastModule) module occupying
slot 4 and set to fast_ethernet_1. This example uses the public
community. To use SNMP, you must have access to the community and
use the community name extension to indicate the network from which
to gather statistics from.
The community table is managed on the Advanced/DMM Controller
Module.
