A Brief Word About Mib Components And Community Names - Cabletron Systems 7C03 User Manual

RMON Default
The RMON, or Remote Network Monitoring, Default MIB component contains
the statistics, history, alarm, and event groups from the RMON MIB (RFC 1757).
This component is shipped in an inactive state, and can be activated and
deactivated as necessary.
Host Services
The Host Services MIB component contains the objects that provide the 7C0x with
its IP functionality — essentially, those functions which allow the 7C0x to operate
over a network — including functions such as ping, Telnet, and TFTP.
MIB Navigator
The MIB Navigator component provides a command set from which you can
configure and manage your 7C0x SmartSwitch by telnetting directly into the
device and viewing and modifying the objects in the device's MIB. The MIB
Navigator is accessible through SPMA via the Telnet application; see the SPMA
Tools Guide and/or your 7C0x hardware manual for more information.
FDDI SMT
The FDDI SMT (Station ManagemenT) MIB component contains the objects that
allow the FDDI NIM ports to function as stations on the FDDI ring, including
information regarding connection policy, configuration, T-Req and T-Neg values,
the TVX timer value, duplicate address testing, frame status, version IDs, and
upstream neighbor addresses.
SWITCH Services
The SWITCH Services MIB component — instantiated only when the 7C0x has
been configured (currently via Local Management) to operate in SecureFast
switching mode — provides the objects necessary for SecureFast switching
operation, including administrative and operational status, port types, switch
capacity, connection table data, a variety of switching-related statistics, and
switch configuration parameters.

A Brief Word About MIB Components and Community Names

In the original version of the component MIB architecture, each MIB component is
protected by its own set of user-configurable Read-Only, Read/Write, and
Super-User community names. These names determine the level of access that
will be granted to the information controlled by each individual component. For
these devices, the central point of access for remote management is provided by
the Chassis MGR MIB component — that is, if you define your device icon or
launch a management application using the read-only, read/write, or super-user
community name assigned to the Chassis MGR MIB component, your SPMA
application is granted the appropriate level of access (read-only, read/write, or
super-user) to all of that device's MIB information — even if the other MIB
components have different community names (as may occur if multiple instances
of the same component are required).
