Like most networking devices, CabletronÕs devices draw their functionality from
a collection of proprietary MIBs and IETF RFCs. In addition, CabletronÕs newer
intelligent devices Ð like the SmartSwitch 2000 Ð organize their MIB data into a
series of Òcomponents.Ó A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIB data, and
each group controls a deÞned set of objects. For example, SmartSwitch 2000
bridging information is organized into its own component; more generic device
and port information resides in the chassis component. Note, too, that there is no
one-to-one correspondence between MIBs and MIB components; a single MIB
component might contain objects from several different proprietary MIBs and
RFCs.
The Chassis Manager window, Figure 2-4 , is a read-only window that displays
the MIBs and the MIB components Ñ and, therefore, the functionality Ñ
supported by the currently monitored device.
To view the Chassis Manager window:
1. Click on Help on the menu bar at the top of the Chassis View window.
2. Select Mibs Supported.
