The Enterprise Server Mib - Netscape ENTREPRISE SERVER 6.1 - 08-2002 ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

The Enterprise Server MIB

NOTE
The master agent exchanges information between the various subagents and the
NMS. The master agent is installed with the Administration Server.
You can have multiple subagents installed on a host computer, but only one master
agent. For example, if you had Directory Server, Enterprise Server, and the
Messaging Server installed on the same host, the subagents for each of the servers
would communicate with the same master agent.
The Enterprise Server MIB
Enterprise Server stores variables pertaining to network management. Variables
the master agent can access are called managed objects. These objects are defined in
a tree-like structure called the management information base (MIB). The MIB
provides access to the web server's network configuration, status, and statistics.
Using SNMP, you can view this information from the network management
workstation (NMS).
The top level of the MIB tree shows that the internet object identifier has four
subtrees: directory (1), mgmt (2), experimental (3), and private (4). The private (4)
subtree contains the enterprises (1) node. Each subtree in the enterprises (1) node is
assigned to an individual enterprise, which is an organization that has registered
its own specific MIB extensions. An enterprise can then create product-specific
subtrees under its subtree. MIBs created by companies are located under the
enterprises (1) node. The Netscape MIBs are located under the enterprises (1) node.
Each Netscape server subagent provides a MIB for use in SNMP communication.
The server reports significant events to the network management station (NMS) by
sending messages or traps containing these variables. The NMS can also query the
server's MIB for data, or can remotely change variables in the MIB.
Each Netscape server has its own management information base (MIB). All
Netscape MIBs are located at:
server_root
The Enterprise Server's MIB is a file called
definitions for various variables pertaining to network management for Enterprise
Server.
