Management Information Base (MIB)

A MIB (Management Information Base) is an element used in network
management with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and a
management station running a management application, such as Hewlett
Packard’s Open View. The management application uses GETs and SETs to
get system information and set system environment variables.

The private MIB can be accessed via Ethernet and is both a diagnostic and a
configuration tool for the PSFR-CP41.

The following sections outline what MIB information is available for each
interface type on the Private MIB. For more information on accessing the Private
MIB, contact a support representative.

MIB Fibre Channel Interface Information

Fibre Channel data reported includes frame and packet information, upper layer
protocol (ULP) type (FCP or IP), and other Fibre Channel specific information.
