SNMP MIBs Support

SNMP MIBs Support

Performance Technologies' Ethernet switches and FlexNAT™ products are equipped with an SNMP agent. To manage these products via a SNMP client, the user will need to load all the MIBs we support into their MIB browser. Many of the MIBs that our products support are described in publicly available RFC files, found freely on the internet. For your convenience, they are also provided below, cleaned up and ready to load into a MIB browser.

Some RFCs describe their relationship with other RFCs if they have dependencies on them. The reason for an 'enhancement' to a previous RFC might be better understood with the following example:

RFC 1213 (MIB-II) and RFC 2233 (IF-MIB) are related. The newer RFC (2233) explains the relationship between them. In the ASN.1 MIB portion of the RFC, just after the BEGIN statement, is the IMPORTS section. This section provides this MIB with the Object Types definitions from the other, older MIB. So the older MIB needs to be loaded first.

The RFC 2233 document contains this passage:

"This memo also includes a MIB module. As well as including new MIB definitions to support the architectural extensions, this MIB module also re-specifies the 'interfaces' group of MIB-II in a manner that is both compliant to the SNMPv2 SMI and semantically - identical to the existing SNMPv1-based definitions."

We support SNMP V1, V2c and V3 and include both RFC 1213 and RFC 2233. Your MIB browser should support these versions. If it does, these MIBs will be compiled and available to you already:

Here's a list of MIBs to load for Performance Technologies' Ethernet switches and FlexNAT™ products. The public MIBs we support should be loaded to be compiled by your MIB browser in the following order:

Performance Technologies and Private MIBs

The following product MIBs should be loaded from the tar'd release because objects supported could vary from release to release:

These private MIBs should be OK to load one time.
