4.2 SpeedTouch
TM
610 MIBs
Introduction As mentioned in “ Management Information Base” on page 21 both the
SpeedTouch
TM
610 SNMP agent and the SNMP manager rely on Management Informa-
tion Base (MIB) files containing all relevant SNMP objects.
In the following, all MIBs important for the SpeedTouch
TM
610 are described. Addition-
ally some of the most important and/or interesting SNMP counters are shortly high-
lighted.
Standard MIBs Following MIBs are common standard MIBs that are relevant to monitoring the
SpeedTouch
TM
610. All MIB manager implementations should provide these MIBs by
default. Therefore, these are not provided on the SpeedTouch
TM
610 CD-rom.
• RFC1213 MIB-II
MIB-II is defined by IETF Full Standard RFC1231 and is the foundational MIB for
TCP/IP based Internets, describing objects available from devices which run the
Internet suite of protocols. The MIB is fundamental to SNMP and is referenced by
many other MIB modules.
It contains management information and statistics on the IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP
protocols.
• RFC2863 IF-MIB
The IF-MIB is an extension and replacement of the interface table in MIB-II. It
contains statistics on the number of bytes and packets transported across the
represented interfaces, including errors.

specific MIBs
Most of the following MIBs are commonly supported by most MIB manager implemen-
tations. Updated copies of the MIBs have been provided on the SpeedTouch
TM
610 CD-
rom. It is advised to load the copies provided on the CD-rom to your SNMP manager,
instead of using the SNMP manager’s provided MIBs.
• RFC1493 Bridge MIB
The Bridge-MIB contains management information on the Bridge port(s). It
contains statistics on, for example, alignment errors, collisions and MAC transition
errors.
• IANAifType MIB
This required MIB module is for adminitrational use by for the other MIBs only. It
defines the IANAifType Textual Convention, and thus the enumerated values of
the ifType object defined in MIB-II's ifTable.
• RFC2665 Ethernet-like MIB
The Ethernet MIB contains management information on the Ethernet interface(s).
It contains statistics on, for example, alignment errors, collisions and MAC transi-
tion errors.
