EMM-E6 MIB Structure

Distributed LAN Monitor

The Distributed LAN Monitor, or DLM, MIB component is a proprietary feature
that allows you to delegate a management station’s polling responsibilities to one
or more strategically placed “smart hub” devices — like an EMM-E6 — on your
network, reducing overall network SNMP traffic by reducing the number of
devices reporting directly to your management station.

MIB Navigator

The MIB Navigator component provides a command set from which you can
configure and manage your EMM-E6 by telnetting directly into the device and
viewing and modifying the objects in the device’s MIB. The MIB Navigator is
accessible through SPMA via the Telnet application; see the SPMA Tools Guide
and/or your EMM-E6 hardware manual for more information.

RMON Default

The RMON, or Remote Network Monitoring, Default MIB component contains
the statistics, history, alarm, and event groups from the RMON MIB (RFC 1271).
This component is shipped in an inactive state, and can be activated and
deactivated as necessary.

RMON Host

The RMON Host MIB component contains the host, hostTopN, and matrix groups
from the RMON MIB. These groups are contained in a separate MIB component
because they require a large proportion of a device’s RAM and CPU resources;
this component is shipped in an inactive state, and can be activated and
deactivated as necessary.

Transparent Bridge

The Transparent Bridge MIB component controls all of the EMM-E6’s bridging
functions, including bridge port description and status, bridging statistics (frames
forwarded, frames blocked, etc.), and bridge configuration information.

NoMgmtMIMs

If you have an unmanageable MIM (such as a token ring MIM) installed in your
EMM-E6-controlled hub, the NoMgmtMIMs MIB component provides the EMM-
E6 with enough information so that the MIM can be represented in the Hub View
with its type and the designation “No Mgt” displayed.

Orphan MIMs

The Orphan MIMs MIB component provides minimal management for any
repeater MIMs (RMIMs) installed in the EMM-E6-controlled hub that are
configured for operation in stand-alone (isolated) mode.
