MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide
Management Information Base
SNMP agents collect information in a database called a Management Information Base, or
MIB. Microsoft has defined database structures for its servers in which its SNMP services
collect a wide variety of information. In addition, MaxAttach NAS units have an additional
set of unique MIB variables developed specifically for the MaxAttach NAS system. The
MaxAttach NAS SNMP services support variables from both the Microsoft server MIBs
and its own MIB.
For a list of supported variables, see the MaxAttach SNMP Specification section below.

MaxAttach SNMP Specifications
The SNMP agent support for the Maxtor MaxAttach NAS 6000 consists of various SNMP
extension agents provided by the Windows 2000 Server and by the MaxAttach SNMP

event traps for remote network management. The collection of management information
and event traps is called the management information base or MIB.
