This document includes the following sections: • MIBs and Network Management, page 1 • About Cisco MIB Files, page 6 • Accessing and Downloading Cisco MIB Files, page 7 • Understanding the ENTITY-MIB and Extensions, page 8 • Extending the IF-MIB, page 9 • Cisco Nexus 5000 Series and Cisco Nexus 2000 Series MIBs, page 9 • Related Documentation, page 12 • Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request, page 14 MIBs and Network Management The Cisco MIB list includes Cisco proprietary MIBs and many other Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard MIBs. These standard MIBs are defined in Requests for Comments (RFCs). To find specific MIB information, you must examine the Cisco proprietary MIB structure and related IETF-standard MIBs supported by the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches. Network management takes place between two major types of systems: those systems in control, called managing systems, and those systems that managing systems observe and control, called managed systems. The most common managing system is called a Network Management System (NMS). Managed systems can include hosts, servers, or network components such as switches and routers. To promote interoperability, cooperating systems must adhere to a common framework and a common language, called a protocol. In the Internet-standard management framework, that protocol is the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
