SNMP and MIB Support
The Express Switching Hub contains a built-in SNMP agent running
on the SNMP processor board. This allows each Express Switching
Hub to be managed from a centralized management station via any
SNMP-compliant NMS.
The SNMP agent software complies with the following standards:
• RFC 1155, The Structure of Management Information (SMI) for
TCP/IP Based Internets, 5/90.
• RFC 1556, Management Information Base (MIB) for Network
Managers of TCP/IP Based Internets, 5/90.
• RFC 1557, The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), 5/
90.
• RFC 1213, The Management Information Base II (MIB II), 3/91.
• RFC 1643, Definitions of Managed Objects for the Ethernet-like
Interface Types.
• RFC 1573, Evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB-II, 1/94.
• RFC 1493, Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges, 7/93.
• RFC 793, Transmission Control Protocol.
• RFC 854, Telnet Protocol Specification.
• RFC 1055, Nonstandard for transmission of IP datagrams over
serial lines: SLIP, 1/88.
The SNMP agent uses UDP/IP (RFC 768, RFC 950, RFC 1071 and
RFC 791) as OSI layers 3 and 4 protocols, and ICMP (RFC 792) and
ARP (RFC 826) to complete the UDP/IP protocol suite.
The UDP/IP stack implementation is conformant to:
• RFC 1122, Requirements for Internet hosts, communication layers.
• RFC 1123, Requirements for Internet hosts, application and
support.
The Express Switching Hub may be managed by any SNMP Manager
that conforms to the above standards.
The Express Switching Hub implements an Intel Enterprise MIB.
