Monitoring Statistics
Using the ASCII Version of the Bay Networks MIB
Site Manager software provides a directory of ASCII MIB files in ASN.1 syntax -each file (identified by a .mib extension) contains a single MIB. You can use these
files as a reference to MIB objects. You can also compile these files with a
network management application to provide network management access to Bay
Networks routers.
MIB files are found in the Windows directory \wf\mibs or the UNIX directory
/usr/wf/mibs. For example, the Point-to-Point Protocol MIB (ppp) can be found in
/usr/wf/mibs/ppp.mib on a UNIX workstation, or in \wf\mibs\ppp.mib on a PC.
Using the MIB II Counters Feature
MIB II is the second version of the Management Information Base. The MIB II
Counters feature lets you track the number of packets each circuit in the router
processes at the data link layer. By default, Site Manager enables the MIB II
counters described in Table 8-6.
Table 8-6.
