MIB Fibre Channel Interface Information
MIB SCSI Interface Information
MIB Ethernet and Serial Interfaces
A MIB (Management Information Base) is an element used in network management with SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) and a management station running a management application, such as Dell OpenView. The
management application uses GETs and SETs to get system information and set system environment variables.
The Dell Private MIB can be accessed via Ethernet and is both a diagnostic and a configuration tool for the
PowerVault 35F.
The following sections outline what MIB information is available for each interface type on the Dell Private MIB. For
more information on accessing the Dell Private MIB, contact a support representative.
MIB Fibre Channel Interface Information
Fibre Channel data reported includes frame and packet information, upper layer protocol (ULP) type (FCP or IP), and
other Fibre Channel specific information. Draft MIBs for Fibre Channel N_Ports and F_Ports are in the public domain.
The Dell Private MIB includes:
Groups for Fibre Channel configuration
Fibre Channel port physical table
Fibre Channel port statistics
SCSI-to-Fibre Channel mapping
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI mapping
MIB SCSI Interface Information
The Dell MIB gathers SCSI information for management purposes.
This Dell specific MIB provides information about the following:
Number of I/O operations per bus
Number of disconnects
Abort count
Number of bus resets
Vital Product Data (VPD) from Inquiry command for each SCSI device
SCSI configuration information
This information can be found in the SCSI Statistics Table, SCSI Config Group, and the SCSI Product Data Groups of
the Dell Private MIB.
MIB Ethernet and Serial Interfaces Information
The Ethernet interface is used for configuration and management, so total traffic flow is relatively low. The basic
