SNMP Access Problems
Access Server Not Responding with the Requested
MIB Information
Solution
If your access server is not responding with the correct management information bases
(MIBs), verify the MIB version on the network management station (NMS). The current
MIB version of the access server fully supports the following specifications:
RFC1158 - Obsoleted MIB II. Supported for backwards compatibility.
RFC1213 - Management Information Base (MIB II) for Internet protocol suite
management. (This makes RFC1158 obsolete.)
RFC1243 - Definitions of Managed Objects for AppleTalk.
RFC1284 - Definitions of Managed Objects for Ethernet.
RFC1316 - Definitions of Managed Objects for Character Stream Devices, the Character
MIB. The obsolete draft version dated March 19, 1991 is also supported for backwards
compatibility.
RFC1317 - Definitions of Managed Objects for RS232-like Hardware Devices.
RS232-like MIB. The obsolete draft version dated March 19, 1991 is also supported for
backwards compatibility.
RFC1471 - Definitions of Managed Objects for the Link Control Protocol of the Point-to-
Point Protocol.
RFC1473 - Definitions of Managed Objects for the IP Network Control Protocol of the
Point-to-Point Protocol.
DEC-DECserver-Accounting - Definitions of Managed Objects for DECserver
Accounting.
IPX-MIB - Definitions of managed objects for IPX. A Novell private MIB.
IPXCP-MIB - Definitions of managed objects for Point-to-Point (PPP) protocol IPX
Control Protocol (IPXCP). A private MIB.
If the NMS does not associate the correct MIB versions with the access server, do the
following:
• If the NMS supports these exact versions of the MIBs, configure the NMS to associate
these MIBs with the access server.
