TRMMIM MIB Structure
A-4 TRMMIM MIB Structure
the original component-based MIB architecture, this means you must use the
exact community name you have assigned to a specific component to access that
component’s MIB information. (Again, note that the TRMMIM’s Network
components always have unique community names.) For devices which support
the new global community names, you must make note of the automatic
modifications that are made for network components, and use those specific
community names when trying to access information stored in those components.
The MIB component descriptions provided above will serve as a roadmap for
determining where the information you’re interested in is located; you can use the
SPMA Community Names tool (described in Chapter 3 of the SPMA Tools Guide)
to determine whether your version of firmware supports the original component-
based MIB architecture, or the new global community names. The Community
Names tools also allows you to both view and set the community names which
apply to your device.
