Chapter 4 General Switch Administration SNMP Network Management Platforms SNMP Network Management Platforms You can manage switches by using an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-compatible management station running such platforms as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. CiscoWorks2000 and CiscoView 5.0 are network-management applications you can use to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches. The switch supports a comprehensive set of Management Information Base (MIB) extensions and MIB II, the IEEE 802.1D bridge MIB, and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups, which this IOS software release supports. You can configure these groups by using an SNMP application or by using the CLI. The four supported groups are alarms, events, history, and statistics. This section describes how to access MIB objects to configure and manage your switch. It provides this information: • "Using FTP to Access the MIB Files" section on page 4-5 • "Using SNMP to Access MIB Variables" section on page 4-6 For more information about SNMP, see the "Configuring SNMP" section on page 6-48. In a cluster configuration, the command switch manages communication between the SNMP management station and all switches in the cluster. For information about managing cluster switches through SNMP, see the "Using SNMP to Manage Switch Clusters" section on page 5-27. When configuring your switch by using SNMP, note that certain combinations of port features create configuration conflicts. For more information, see the "Avoiding Configuration Conflicts" section on page 9-7. Using FTP to Access the MIB Files You can obtain each MIB file with this procedure: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Use FTP to access the server ftp.cisco.com. Log in with the username anonymous. Enter your e-mail username when prompted for the password. At the ftp> prompt, change directories to /pub/mibs/supportlists. Change directories to one of the following: • wsc2900xl for a list of Catalyst 2900 XL MIBs • wsc3500xl for a list of Catalyst 3500 XL MIBs Use the get MIB_filename command to obtain a copy of the MIB file. You can also access this server from your browser by entering this URL in the Location field of your Netscape browser (the Address field in Internet Explorer): ftp://ftp.cisco.com Use the mouse to navigate to the folders listed above. 78-6511-08 Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide 4-5
