MIB Downloading Instructions for Non-Vanguard Networks SNMP
Managers
Introduction This section lists Vanguard MIB files needed for SNMP management of Vanguard
devices when using a non-Vanguard Networks SNMP Network Management System
(NMS).
Obtaining MIB Files Vanguard MIB files for your non-Vanguard Networks NMS are available from the
Vanguide 7.1.R00A CD-ROM.
.
You can also download MIB files from the internet. The address for the server is:
http://www.vanguardnetworks.com/support/downloads/mibs/
On the internet, there is one ZIP file for the PC and one ZIP file for UNIX. You must
unzip the ZIP file to get the MIB files. The contents of these two ZIP files are
identical. However, the formats of the files in these two ZIP files are slightly
different due to the way PCs and UNIX systems handle text files.Depending on the
protocols and options provided by the Applications Ware image installed in your
node, you might not need all the MIB files.See the Required Files and Loading
section below for details on the files you should have to support SNMP management
for Vanguard products.
Required Files and
Loading
The following MIB files are required by your NMS to perform SNMP management
of Vanguard products:
• rfc1213.mib
• cdx_6500.mib
These files must be loaded first and in the order shown.
After you load these required files onto your NMS, you can load the MIB files for
the options and protocols installed on your Vanguard hardware. See the MIB Files
for Options/Protocols section below.
