A-1Appendix AEMM-E6 MIB StructureEMM-E6 management information base configurationIETF MIB SupportIn addition to its proprietary features, the EMM-E6 currently supports thefollowing 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 BridgesEMM-E6 MIB StructureCabletron’s newer intelligent devices — like the EMM-E6 — organize MIB datainto a series of “components.” A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIBdata, and each group controls a defined set of objects. For example, EMM-E6bridging information is organized into its own component; repeater informationresides in three separate components, one for each of the EMM-E6’s internalrepeating 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 tothe needs of your organization, as each component can have its own set of ReadOnly, Read/Write, and Superuser community names. The Community Namestool lets you quickly view and change community names for any MIB component;it also allows you to selectively enable or disable individual MIB componentsbased on your specific needs. See the Community Names chapter in the SPMATools Guide and A Brief Word About MIB Components and CommunityNames, below, for more information.
