4770.0. "Wellfleet/Chipcom MIB Questions" by SPANKY::SAWYER () Thu Mar 25 1993 21:57

    Pardon me if I'm out of line here...but the Wellfleet MIB 3.1b v 5.70
    seems useless.
    
    Half of the entities/variables are for appletalk protocols and
    nothing seems pertinent to IP statistics.
    
    My customer's wellfleet has 16 circuits/interfaces on it and they
    want to be able to monitor the IP traffic on the INDIVIDUAL
    interfaces.
    
    Though MCC can monitor the total utilization/total traffic on each
    particular circuit (Boy they love those Graphs! ;-) ), I can't seem
    to be able to get down to specific types of traffic.
    
    So you would think that through the MIB you could get it...but there
    doesn't seem to be much functionality with it...
    
    Is there a newer MIB??
    
    Also, in looking through the Wellfleet Operator's Guide..there are
    tons of variables specified on IP.  So is it because they don't
    give the rest of the world access to these variables...or am I
    going about this all wrong??
    
    Also..is there anyway to do SNMP "GETS" from mcc???
  
    This customer also wants to manage their fiber modules on their
    Chipcom Hub...I've installed MIB spec. 1.39...
    
    Through variable 0l151nnMFIBPortTable....bla bla bla I can get if the 
    Fiber Module is enabled or not...but that's just a mgmt function...he 
    wants to manage if each fiber port is up or down.
    
    Is this possible???
    
    Sorry for the many different questions..but I'm still learning my
    way around a lot of this stuff.

    Rob,
    
    About CHIPCOM and management capabilities VIA SNMP AM with private MIB,
    all what is possible to do via CONSOLE/RS232 mode IS ABLE to be done
    from DECmcc (expect IP address assignment & community declaratives).
    
    About your accurate question concerning the monitoring of 5104M-FIB
    modules, you can information via TWO ways (ie subtrees of MIB) :
    
    . FIRST one, you can use systematically the following command to obtain
    the total configuration about...
    
    	... modules, ie
    
    	MCC>show snmp <hub> chipcom chipmib02 olmodtable * all attributes
    
    	... ports of modules, ie
    
    	MCC>show snmp <hub> chipcom chipmib02 olporttable * all attributes
    
    	In this last command, you will show STATUS information for (slot,port)
    	instances (with clear other data...) ; Some attributes are ALSO
    	SETtable at this point of subtree.
    
    When determining the TYPE (ie olmodType of olmodtable instance), you
    can use, as SECOND step, the module-type-dependant subtree, ie
    51nnMFIBPortTable (slot,port) instance, to do other configuration &
    control command (show & set operations).
    
    Example :
    
    show snmp etoile1 CHIPCOM CHIPMIB02 OLMODTABLE 4 all attr
    
    SNMP etoile1 chipcom chipmib02 olModTable 4
    AT 26-MAR-1993 08:49:17 All Attributes

                                  olModType = module_51nnM_FIB

                               olModVersion = "002"

4770.2RACER::daveAhh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.Fri Mar 26 1993 08:0018
The MIB's are not produced by DEC, we just provide copies of MIBs
that are made public by other vendors.  We do this as a free service,
so our customers dont have to spend weeks chasing down the various MIBS
that they need and then spend days fixing the typos and bugs that are in them.
(Yes, lots of vendors ship MIBs with errors in them.)

If you still think the Wellfleet MIB is useless, 
then complain to the folks at Wellfleet who developed it.
It reflects the features they (Wellfleet) deceided to provide,
and one cannot "extend it" if you dont like it.  Thats whats there,
no more, no less.

Is there a newer MIB?  Maybe, ask Wellfleet.

Is there a way to do "GETS"?  Yes, its the SHOW command, same as in the
rest of MCC.
