The MicroMMAC-T Chassis View
2-12 Viewing Chassis Information
The Chassis Manager Window
Like most networking devices, Cabletron’s devices draw their functionality from
a collection of proprietary MIBs and IETF RFCs. In addition, Cabletron’s newer
intelligent devices – like the MicroMMAC-T – organize their MIB data into a
series of “components.” A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIB data, and
each group controls a defined set of objects. For example, MicroMMAC-T chassis
information is organized into its own component; network information resides in
another component. Note, too, that there is no one-to-one correspondence
between MIBs and MIB components; a single MIB component might contain
objects from several different proprietary MIBs and RFCs.
The Chassis Manager window, Figure 2-3 , is a read-only window that displays the
MIBs and the MIB components — and, therefore, the functionality — supported
by the currently monitored device.
To view the Chassis Manager window:
1. Click on Help on the menu bar at the top of the Chassis View window.
2. Click on MIBs Supported.

Viewing Hardware Types
In addition to the graphical displays described above, a menu option available at
the device-level provides specific information about the physical characteristics of
the MicroMMAC-T module.
The MIBs which provide the
MicroMMAC-T’s functionality —
both proprietary MIBs and IETF
RFCs — are listed here
MIB Components are listed here;
remember, there’s no one-to-one
correspondence between MIBs
and MIB Components
