Any SNMP based network manager can manageSuperStack II Huub 10 and LinkBuilder FMS Series units, provided theMIB (Management Information Base) is installed correctly at themanagement station. The MIB defines what information is availablefrom the stack through the Module, how that information is structured,and how the SNMP network manager can read and update it.The use of 3Com network managers is not described in detail in thismanual.
