EMM-E6 MIB Structure A-5
EMM-E6 MIB Structure
A Brief Word About MIB Components and Community Names
As mentioned above, the arrangement of the EMM-E6’s MIB into a series of
components provides a tremendous amount of flexibility in controlling access to
the EMM-E6’s configuration and statistical information, since each MIB
component can have its own unique set of community names, and each can be
individually enabled and disabled depending on your management needs (see
the Community Names chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide for more information).
All of the SPMA applications can handle these differences in community names
internally, with no special actions required on the part of the user; just be sure you
define your device icon (or, when operating in stand-alone mode, launch each
application) with the appropriate community name from the Chassis MGR MIB
component, and SPMA can access all of the information it needs.
However, some of the tools available through your network management
platform may require a community name specific to the component which
contains the information you are trying to display and/or change. Be sure to
consult your Installing and Using... guide for details; the MIB component
descriptions provided above will serve as a roadmap for determining where the
information you’re interested in is located.
NOTE
The set of community names you assign via Local Management are those which apply to
the Chassis MGR MIB component.
