Viewing the Bay Networks MIB
The Bay Networks MIB is a hierarchical database consisting of:
• Configuration and statistical objects that the router’s Gate Access
Management Entity (GAME) operating system uses
• Protocol image software that defines, limits, and monitors the behavior of a
Bay Networks router in your network
The Bay Networks MIB includes all objects for every protocol that Bay Networks
routers support. It is a specific extension of the Management Information Base II
(MIB II) described in Internet Request for Comments (RFC) 1213.
Through Site Manager or the Technician Interface, you can:
• Read the values of many MIB objects with the
SNMP GET command
• Write the values of a subset of MIB objects with the
SNMP SET command
The GAME operating system also has exclusive read/write access to certain
objects in the MIB. GAME uses the configuration file to create an active MIB that
dictates the behavior of that router on your network.

MIB.
