Supported MIBs
The IntraSwitch 5212 supports the following MIBs (Manage-
ment Information Bases):
RMON (RFC 1757)
MIB II (RFC 1213)
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
This section describes each supported MIB and its groups.
RMON
(RFC 1757)
The IntraSwitch 5212 supports four groups of Remote Network
Monitoring (RMON) MIB objects.
Statistics
History Group
Alarm Group
Event Group
Note: RMON is a standard for monitoring and
reporting network activity using remote network
monitoring devices (referred to as “monitors” or
“probes.”) RMON is designed to supplement the
management information obtained and used by
SNMP. For more information, refer to RFC 1757.
Statistics
The Statistics group contains statistics measured by the probe
for each monitored interface on the device. These statistics
take the form of free-running counters that start from zero
when a valid entry is created.
The statistics group lists Ethernet statistic types (e.g.,
multicasts, fragments, collisions) and supplies a numerical
counter of occurrences.
