6.3.1 Management Information Base (MIB) Files

MIB files are used for SNMP remote management of a unique device. A MIB file consists of a tree
of nodes called Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID provides remote management of a particular
function. These MIB files should be compiled in a user-supplied MIB Browser or SNMP Network
Monitoring System server. The following MIB files are associated with the PCB-4000A:
MIB File/Name
(where 'x' is revision letter)
FW-0021074*.mib
ComtechEFData MIB file
FW-0021047*.mib
PCB-4X00A MIB file
FW-0021048*.mib
PCB-4X00A MIB file

6.3.2 SNMP Community Strings

CAUTION – In SNMP v1/v2c, the SNMP Community String is sent unencrypted in
the SNMP packets. Caution must be taken by the network administrator to
ensure that SNMP packets travel only over a secure and private network if
security is a concern.
The PCB-4000A uses Community Strings as a password scheme that provides authentication
before gaining access to the Agent MIBs. They are used to authenticate users and determine
access privileges to the SNMP Agent.
Type the SNMP Community String into the user-supplied MIB Browser or Network Node
Management software.
Two Community Strings are defined for SNMP access:
•
Read Community
•
Write Community
The Read and Write Community Strings can be configured using serial remote command RCM
and WCM when remote state is at Serial Remote.
For proper SNMP operation, the PCB-4000A MIB files must be used with the
associated version of the unit. Refer to the PCB-4000A FW Release Notes for
information on the required FW/SW compatibility.
