IETF MIB Support
In addition to its proprietary features, the EMM-E6 currently supports the
following IETF MIBs:
• RFC 1213 MIB for Network Management of TCP/IP-based Internets: MIB-II
• RFC 1271 Remote Network Monitoring MIB
• RFC 1493 Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges
EMM-E6 MIB Structure
Cabletron’s newer intelligent devices — like the EMM-E6 — organize MIB data
into a series of “components.” A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIB
data, and each group controls a defined set of objects. For example, EMM-E6
bridging information is organized into its own component; repeater information
resides in three separate components, one for each of the EMM-E6’s internal
repeating channels. (Channel D, the front panel connection, and channels E and F,
the BRIM connections, do not function as repeaters.)
MIB components give you broad flexibility to customize MIB access according to
the needs of your organization, as each component can have its own set of Read
Only, Read/Write, and Superuser community names. The Community Names
tool lets you quickly view and change community names for any MIB component;
it also allows you to selectively enable or disable individual MIB components
based on your specific needs. See the Community Names chapter in the SPMA
Tools Guide
and A Brief Word About MIB Components and Community
Names , below, for more information.
