CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This manual is for system administrators responsible for configuring, monitoring,
and maintaining the Fast Network 100 (FN100). Much of the configuration of the
FN100 needs to be done using an SNMP-based network management station.
This manual contains the SNMP MIB variables you may need to configure,
monitor, and manage your FN100.You should use this manual with the FN100
User Guide and with the documentation provided with your NMS.
This manual describes the software interface between the NMS and the FN100.
The NMS communicates with the FN100 software.
The Network Management, or UART, port is the interface to the Local Console
Manager (LCM). LCM is a non-intelligent terminal interface that can be used to
configure and monitor status for the FN100.
The contents of each chapter are described below.
• Chapter 1, Introduction , provides an overview of the SNMP primitives,
describes the functions the MIB variables can be used to perform, and
describes how to use TFTP to download the FN100 system software.
• Chapter 2, TCP/IP MIB-II , describes the standard TCP/IP MIB variables.
• Chapter 3, Ethernet MIB , describes the standard Ethernet MIB variables.
• Chapter 4, Bridge MIB , describes the Bridge MIB variables.
• Chapter 5, PPP MIB , describes the PPP link control and IP table MIB
variables.
• Chapter 6, Cabletron MIB , describes the Cabletron enterprise MIB
variables.
• Chapter 7, Traps , describes generic traps.
• AppendixA, Packet Header Diagrams , diagrams IP, UDP, and TCP header
packets.
