CHAPTER 7
REPEATER MIB
The unit supports the Ethernet Repeater MIB as defined in Definitions of
Managed Objects for IEEE 802.3 Repeater Devices. RFC 1368 (McMaster and
McCloghrie, editors).
The unit has one major special feature. Packets are not repeated across Groups.
Instead, Groups are treated as separate repeaters, which may be logically
connected by the bridging/routing functions performed by the unit.
The MIB tree for reaching the Ethernet Repeater group is:
1.3.6.1.2.1.
snmpDot3RptrMgt {mib-2 22}
7.1 BASIC PACKAGE
rptrBasicPackage {snmpDot3RptrMgt 1}
rptrRptrInfo {rptrBasicPackage 1}
rptrGroupCapacity {rptrRptrInfo 1}
Integer Read-Only
The rptrGroupCapacity is the number of groups that can be contained within the
repeater. Within each managed repeater, the groups are uniquely numbered in the
range from 1 to rptrGroupCapacity. Some groups may not be present in the
repeater, in which case the actual number of groups present will be less than
rptrGroupCapacity. Note in practice, this will generally be the number of
field-replaceable units (i.e., modules, cards, or boards) that can fit in the physical
repeater enclosure, and the group numbers will correspond to numbers marked
on the physical enclosure.
Since the unit has a maximum of five I/O modules, this number is always five.
