1 MIB RELATIONSHIPS
MIB is an acronym for Management Information Base, and defines a set of managed objects
used in the SNMP protocol. MIB’s define the supported interface into an SNMP device. The
managed objects defined in the Digivance CXD MIB’s provide the monitoring and control
capability into the Digivance CXD system.
SNMP Management applications, such as the customer Network Management System, use the
definitions provided in MIB’s to monitor and control SNMP devices, such as the CPUs in the
Digivance CXD network. SNMP Management applications may or may not allow direct access
to MIB’s through a MIB Browser, so it is important to refer to the User’s Manual for the
SNMP Management application being used. Digivance CXD MIB’s are provided as part of the
software package delivered to Digivance CXD customers so that the customer can compile the
Digivance CXD MIB’s into the NMS and monitor/control the Digivance CXD equipment.
Figure 7-1 displays the MIB’s used in the Digivance CXD system, which node* type(s) each
MIB is used in, and how the MIB’s are related to each other. The sections that follow will
describe each of the MIB’s and how they are used in the Digivance CXD system.
(*) Within the Digivance CXD network, there are four node types: Hub Node, RAN Node, LSE
node, and Hubmaster Node, where "node" is simply shorthand for "network node". In the
Digivance CXD system, node simply refers to the CPUs used in the Digivance CXD network. It
is also important to note that the Hubmaster node is a regular Hub node with additional
functionality that is particular to the one and only Hubmaster node in the network. The LSE
node is also a regular Hub node with additional functionality particular to location services
applications.
