Cabletron Systems Network Router - Manual (Page 49)

Getting Started
Configuring Cabletron Glyph Properties 3-9
Selecting MIB Agent Files
If you plan to use the Solstice SNMP Browser tool against the
Cabletron devices you are adding, you may want to assign the
appropriate MIB agent Þles to each glyph so that the Browser can
successfully query each deviceÕs MIBs.
Some Cabletron MIB agents are speciÞc to a single device, such as the
IIMCFN10-MIB and IIMCFN100-MIB. Others, such as
IIMC-CHASSIS-MIB, can be used with many different devices. Still
others are intended for use with a speciÞc type of device:
IIMCCTRON-BRIDGE-MIB for bridges, IIMCREPEATER-REV4-MIB
for repeaters, and so on. The appendix at the end of this manual
provides a complete list of SPMA-supported devices and the MIB
agent Þles that apply to each one.
To select the appropriate MIB agent Þles for a selected glyph:
1. If necessary, click mouse button 3 on the glyph whose properties
you wish to edit, and select Object Properties from the resulting
glyph menu. (If you are just creating a new glyph, the Object
Properties window will be displayed automatically.)
2. Use the scroll bars to display the Agent area of the window. Click
on Add... . The Object SNMP Configuration window will appear.
3. Enter the device’s IP address or hostname in the Agent Name
field, and press Return. The IIMCRFC1213-MIB agent file will be
added to the list box by default.
4. Click on the empty selection box beneath the agent file list box to
display a list of available MIB agent files; select the file you wish
to add, and click on Add. The selected agent file will be added to
the list box.
5. Repeat as necessary to add additional MIB agent files to the
selected glyph.
