Appendix A
Management Information Base (MIB) System
This appendix describes BCM management information bases (MIB).
The MIB is a virtual information store that contains a collection of objects that are managed using
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The MIB is the software that defines the data
reported by a computing or network device and the extent of control over that device.
This chapter provides the following information:
• “SNMP MIBs
• “Third-Party Fault Management Systems
• “MIB File Descriptions
• “MIB File Compilation and Installation
• “Small Site Event MIBs
• “OSPF MIBs
• “RIP v2 MIBs
• “Bootp MIBs
• “MS Windows NT Performance MIBs
SNMP MIBs
An MIB enables access to the managed objects of a system through a virtual information store
termed the management information base or MIB. BCM supports a number of MIBs.
The MIB files can be accessed by using the Tools pull-down menu on the
Configure->Services->SNMP selection in the Unified Manager. A download window appears, and
the network administrator can select which of the MIB files to download.
MIB files are available as a zipped file from the Nortel Networks Customer Service site at
www.nortelnetworks.com (direct link: http://www130.nortelnetworks.com/cgi-bin/eserv/cs/
main.jsp). Select Business Series -> Business Communications Manager (BCM) Software. In the
Software screen, enter mib in the by Title/Number Keyword field and press Enter.
MIB Browsers allow the MIB information to be loaded so that the MIB structure can be browsed.
An example of a utility is Microsoft MOM.
Third-Party Fault Management Systems
The BCM Small Site and BCM Small Site Event MIBs can be integrated into standards-based
SNMP management frameworks in order to receive BCM alarms via SNMP.
