Overview of the Endurance VFT SNMP MIB and
Extension Agent
This section provides an overview of the Endurance VFT implementation of SNMP, including
the Endurance VFT
MIB, and the Endurance VFT SNMP extension agent. Refer to Microsoft
documentation for detailed information and references materials about MIBs and SNMP
concepts.
The Endurance VFT SNMP MIB
The Endurance VFT SNMP MIB, which provides access to the Endurance FTvirtual Server
management data, is a version SMIv1 MIB, which incorporates the features of SMI version 1.
The Endurance VFT
MIB is located in the mtcProducts node of the Endurance MIB sub-
tree, as shown in Figure A-2.
The Endurance VFT
MIB is a “read-only” MIB, which means that all manageable objects within
the MIB has the Max-Access parameter set to “read-only.” The Endurance VFT
objects for
which the MIB and SNMP extension agent provide access and report information include:
• Configuration parameters and states
• FTvirtual Server parameters and states
• Virtual Server and logical device parameters and states
• CoServer and physical device parameters and states
• CoServer Link parameters and states
The Endurance FTvirtual Server SNMP Extension Agent
Associated with the Endurance VFT MIB is the Endurance VFT SNMP extension agent, which
supports generation of the SNMP traps (notification events). The agent runs as a Windows 2000
SNMP extension agent on the Endurance FTvirtual Server. You can use any MIB browser that
supports SMIv1 to view the data exported by the extension agent.
