FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C SNMP Management
SNMP Environment C-3
MIBs Supported by the FCD-IPM SNMP Agent
The interpretation of the relevant MIBs is a function of the SNMP agent of each
managed entity. The general MIBs supported by the SNMP agent are as follows:
• RFC1213
• RFC1215
• RFC1231
• RFC1659 – RS-232
• RFC1398 – Ethernet (dot3)
• RFC1406 – DS1
• RFC1471 – PPP
• RFC1473 – PPP-IP-Group
• RFC1724 – RIP
• RFC2011
• RFC2096 – IP-FORWARD
• ianaIfType
• RFC2233 – IfMIB
• RFC2127 – ISDN
• RFC2128 – ISDN
• RFC2115 – FR
• RFC3276 – SHDSL
• RAD private MIB.
In addition, the FCD-IPM SNMP agent supports the RAD-private (enterprise-
specific) MIB identified as (read the following as a continuous string):
Iso(0).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).
rad(164)
Enterprise-specific MIBs supported by RAD equipment, including those for
FCD-IPM, are available in ASN.1 format from the RAD Technical Support
Department.
Management Domains Under SNMP
SNMP enables, in principle, each management station that knows the MIBs
supported by a device to perform all the management operations available on that
device. However, this is not desirable in practical situations, so it is necessary to
provide a means to delimit management domains.
SNMP Communities
To enable the delimitation of management domains, SNMP uses “communities”.
Each community is identified by a name, which is an alphanumeric string of up to
255 characters defined by the user.
Any SNMP entity (this term includes both managed entities and management
stations) is assigned by its user a community name. In parallel, the user defines for
each SNMP entity a list of the communities which are authorized to communicate
