6000.0. "bridge mib, 802dot1d mib question" by NYOS02::PLUNKETT () Thu May 19 1994 15:49

    I've got some mibs compiled into MCC for an Artel galactica bridge. 
    This gives me access to the Artel extensions, but my customer wants
    to see some 802.1d information, which is accessible via the agent on
    the bridge.  
    
    Is the 802.1d mib built into MCC, and if not, do I also need to
    compile the bridge extensions to MIB-II along with the 802dot1d
    extensions, into mcc?

6000.1Load bridge MIBBIKINI::KRAUSECSC Network Management/HubsFri May 20 1994 08:414
You need to load BRIDGE_STD_MIBDEF.TXT. This should give you all the 
variables you need. 802.1d is Spanning Tree.

6000.2What would be the difference between Bridge and 802.1dNYOS02::PLUNKETTFri May 20 1994 13:3016
    
    After doing a little reading of "The Simple Times", and browsing the
    notes in the SNMP conference, I am under the impression that 802.1d
    and the Bridge MIB are one and the same, according to RFC1493. 
    RFC1493 obsoletes RFC1286, which is described as the Bridge MIB, and 
    I compiled a MIB provided by Chipcom referencing RFC1286, that gave
    me my Spanning Tree information, which is really what the customer
    was looking for. So for my purposes, I got what I needed, but would
    still like to know what the difference would be between the two
    items mentioned in the previous note.
    
    I made the *mistake* of describing RMON to my customer, and now he's
    thinking about adding that MIB.  I'd better stay on my toes with
    this MIB stuff.
