Accessing MIB Files

You can access the switch MIB ﬁles through SNMP to conﬁgure and monitor the switch.

Note Wait approximately 1 minute for the changes to be saved to permanent storage

before turning off the switch, or the changes might not be saved.

If you are going to manage the switch by using SNMP and the MIB ﬁles, the Read and

Write community strings need to be set. To do this, you can either

• Use the default community strings

— Read community string. The default is public.

— Write community string. The default is private.

• Assign community strings on the SNMP Management Page (Figure 3-7) or the Network

Management (SNMP) READ Conﬁguration Menu (Figure 4-10) and Network

Management (SNMP) WRITE Conﬁguration Menu (Figure 4-11).

You can obtain a copy of the MIB ﬁles using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to access the

ftp.cisco.com server.

To obtain a MIB ﬁle, follow these steps:

Step 1 Use FTP to access the server ftp.cisco.com, or enter ftp.cisco.com from your

browser.

Step 2 Log in with the username anonymous.

Step 3 Enter your e-mail name when prompted for the password.

Step 4 At the ftp> prompt, change directories to /pub/mibs/supportlists/wsc1900.

Step 5 Use the get supportlist.html command to get a list of the supported MIB ﬁles.

Step 6 Change directories to /pub/mibs/v1.
