Appendix C: MIBs and SNMP Traps

This appendix provides formatted information drawn from the Management

Information Bases (MIBs) written for Dell 2161DS-2/4161DS/2321DS

Remote Console Switches. Sections in this guide follow MIB groups and

provide explanation and definitions for the terms used to define MIB objects.

You can access MIB-11 and MIB databases while using IPv4 or IPv6 and can add

IPv4 or IPv6-specific traps.
MIB is a virtual database of managed objects contained within the SNMP

agent. It is a collection of objects that defines the properties of the managed

devices.
The Remote Console Switch MIB definitions use the structure described in

the following Request For Comments (RFCs).

• RFC-1155-SMI

Describes the common structures and identification scheme for the

definition of management information for use with TCP/IP-based

Internets.

• RFC-1212

Describes the format for producing concise and descriptive MIB

modules.

• RFC-1213-MIB

Describes the Internet standard MIB-II for use with network

management protocols in TCP/IP-based internetworks.

• RFC-1215

Describes the SNMP standardized traps and provides a means for

defining enterprise-specific traps.

The private Remote Console Switch MIB is represented by the object

identifier 1.3.6.1.4.1.10418.3, which include the subtrees dsProducts (1),

dsManagement (2), dsOEM (3), and SNMP Traps as shown in Figure C-1.
