4898.0. "cabletron mibs help needed" by VNABRW::HAINZL_R () Fri Apr 16 1993 10:55

situation :
		snmp management via mcc should be provided for
		cabletron mmac's (mmac-3, mmac-4, mmac-5 with
		IRM2 /IRBM)

		since the loading of mibs takes a long time, I'd like to be
		sure to load only the necessary mibs.

		MCCEMS023 includes the following Cabletron MIB's 

		CABLETRON_BRIDGE_MIBDEF.TXT
		CABLETRON_CHASS_MIBDEF.TXT
		CABLETRON_COMMN_MIBDEF.TXT
		CABLETRON_IRM3_MIBDEF.TXT
		CABLETRON_RREV4_MIBDEF.TXT

		I loaded all above mibs, but this was not sufficient to
		see a cabletron subentity after registering an mmac, although
		the mcc-dictionary showd me a lot of cabletron subentities.

		After explicitly registering cabletron subentities for the
		MMAC I still was unable to touch any "private" argument.
		(The standard MIB's arguments were accessible).

question to someone knowledgeable :

		which of them are actually needed ?
		or how can I find the answer to the above question ?
		am I probaby missing something else ?

thanks in advance, Richard




		

    Be aware that the Cabletron agent has had problems in the past.  The
    version that I am using is unusable by SUNnetManager, HPOpenview,
    NetLabs, and DECmcc.
    
    We are in the process of trying to get a new version of the agent. 
    Doublecheck with Cabletron to be sure you have the latest before
    banging your head against the wall.

I forgot to mention in .0, that the MMAC-s are already managed by
HPOpenview.

Does that mean, all I have to do, is to use the same MIBS as HP ??

I hope the question isn't too naiv, regards Richard

    Simply run the MIB text file through the MCC_COMMON:MCC_TCPIP_MTU.COM
    MIB Translation Utility, then re-register the Cabletron SNMP entity.
    
    You can FTP the MIB text file from your HP system.
