1193.0. "MIBs for DECbridge 500/600" by GIDDAY::STANISLAUS () Thu Jan 06 1994 10:10

    Where can I get the MIBs for DEcbridges 500/600 ? One of my customers 
    who has DECmcc wishes to manage his DECbride 500/600 units with SNMP
    rather than using the bridge access modules. I do not know why. Won't
    the amount of management possible be less with SNMP as opposed  to
    using the bridge access module.

It can be had by anonymous FTP on gatekeeper.dec.com.  Look in:

	/pub/DEC/mib/README

That file lists the actual MIB files, which live in the same directory.  The
DECbridge MIBs are in there.

I believe the bridge access module uses that MIB.  In any case, the MIB 
definitely gives you full management access to the bridge.

    The bridge am is part of the ELM AM package which uses the RBMS
    protocol and has nothing to do with MIBs or SNMP.
    
    re .0
    
    SNMP management of the DECbridge 5xx/6xx gives the user the same level
    of control as does the bridge am but its not SIMPLE.  For example the
    attributes (characteristics/counters/status) are spread over four MIBs;
    MIB-II, BRIDGE (RFC1286), FDDI (RFC1285) and the DEC Vendor MIB.  
    
    The DECmcc product ships with MIB-II integrated into the SNMP AM and
    the BRIDGE and FDDI MIBs are located in the MCC_COMMON directory.  Also
    in MCC_COMMON is revision 2.0 of the DEC Vendor MIB but rev 2.7 can be
    copied from gatekeeper.
    
    For SNMP management you'll need the bridge to be at 1.3 the latest 
    software rev.  One problem that you should be aware of; some of the 
    counters (I think in the interface group) aren't incrementing and the 
    maintainer of the software is looking into getting this fixed.

    Bill is the DECconcentrator 500 v.3.2.1, SNMP manageable and if so are
    there any mibs with DECmcc that should be loaded.
    
1193.5NPSS::WADENetwork Systems SupportFri Feb 04 1994 06:363
    For the DEFCN you need to load the FDDI MIB located in MCC_COMMON and 
    rev 2.7 of the DEC Vendor MIB on gatekeeper.
