Accessing LightStream  1010 MIB Files

Accessing LightStream  1010 MIB Files

This section describes how to access the Cisco Systems public Management Information Base (MIB) for the LightStream  1010 ATM switch. The following information is contained in this section:

Accessing MIB Files

This section describes the following methods of accessing the Cisco public MIB files:

Using FTP to Access MIB Files

Use these steps to access the Cisco public MIBs using FTP:

Step 1 Use FTP to access the server ftp.cisco.com.

Step 2 Log in with the username anonymous.

Step 3 Enter your e-mail name when prompted for the password.

Step 4 At the ftp> prompt, change your directory to the following:

        /pub/mibs/supportlists/ls1010
         
        

Step 5 Enter the get supportlist.txt command to obtain the supportlist.txt file containing a list of MIBs the switch supports.

Step 6 Enter the get command to retrieve the desired MIB files from the v1/ or v2/ directories.

Using CCO to Access MIB Files

CCO serves a wide variety of users through two interfaces that are updated and enhanced simultaneously---a character-based version and a multimedia version, which both reside on the WWW. The character-based CCO (called "CCO Classic") supports Zmodem, Kermit, Xmodem, FTP, Internet e-mail, and fax download options, and allows quick access to information over lower bandwidths. The WWW version of CCO provides richly formatted documents with photographs, figures, graphics, and video, as well as hyperlinks to related information.

You can access CCO in the following ways:

Using WWW to Access MIB Files

Use these steps to access MIB files using the WWW:

Step 1 Ensure that you are not logged in as a registered user.

Step 2 Enter the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/

Step 3 Access the list of supported MIBs from the "Index of /public/mibs" list by performing the following steps:

Step 4 Read a brief description of the various MIB files from the "Index of /public/mibs" list by performing the following steps:

Step 5 Obtain trap definitions from the "Index of /public/mibs" list by performing the following steps:

The LightStream  1010 switch supports all standard traps defined in the standard MIBs listed in the "Product Overview" section of the LightStream  1010 Software Configuration Guide. Cisco proprietary traps used by the LightStream  1010 switch are documented in the various MIB files.

Using Telnet to Access MIB Files

Use these steps to access MIB files using a Telnet session:

Step 1 Telnet to cco.cisco.com.

Step 2 Select Service & Support from the "Cisco Systems Connection ONLINE" main menu.

Step 3 Select Software Center from the "Service & Support" list.

Step 4 Select Network Management Products from the "Software Center" list.

Step 5 Select MIB Files from the "Software Network Management Products" list.

Step 6 Access a list of supported MIB by performing the following steps:

Step 7 Read a brief description of the various MIB files by performing the following steps:

Step 8 Obtain trap definitions by performing the following steps:

The LightStream  1010 switch supports all standard traps defined in the standard MIBs listed in the "Product Overview" section of the LightStream  1010 Software Configuration Guide. Cisco proprietary traps used by the LightStream  1010 switch are documented in the various MIB files.

Downloading MIB Files

The LightStream  1010 switch supports all standard traps defined in the standard MIBs listed in Chapter 1, "Product Overview," of the LightStream  1010 Software Configuration Guide.

You can download a copy of MIB files in two ways:

Using FTP to Download the MIB File

Download the MIB file using FTP from a UNIX server by performing these steps:

Step 1 Enter the following command at the system prompt from a UNIX server:

$ ftp ftp.cisco.com

The system displays a login prompt.

Step 2 Log in with the username anonymous, as follows:

Name (ftp.cisco.com:user): anonymous

The system displays a password prompt.

Step 3 Enter your full e-mail address in the following format:

Password: user@domain_name

For example:

Password: jdoe@cisco.com

The system displays an ftp> prompt.

Step 4 Change directories to pub/mibs, as follows:

ftp> cd pub/mibs

Step 5 Change to the directory containing the desired MIB file, as follows:

ftp> cd v1 (for SNMP version 1)

or

ftp> cd v2 (for SNMP version 2)

Step 6 Enter the get command to download a copy of the MIB file, as follows:

ftp> get MIB_filename.my

The get command downloads the MIB file to your directory.

Step 7 Exit FTP by entering quit at the ftp> prompt, as follows:

ftp> quit

Using CCO to Download the MIB File

You can use CCO to download the MIB file with either a character-based interface or a multimedia WWW browser interface.

Using a Multimedia Browser to Access CCO

Access CCO using a multimedia WWW browser by performing these steps:

Step 1 Enter the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/supportlists/

Step 2 Select ls1010.

Step 3 Save the MIB file as text using the Save as... command from your browser's File pulldown menu. You can also send the file to yourself using the Mail  Document... command from the browser's File menu.

Using a Character-Based Interface to Access CCO

To access CCO using a character-based interface, perform these steps:

Step 1 Enter the following command from a system capable of running the Telnet protocol:

% telnet cco.cisco.com

The system displays a login prompt.

Step 2 Log in as cco, as follows:

login: cco

The system displays messages similar to the following and prompts you to specify a terminal type:

Last login: Tue Dec 17 17:14:51 from dynaserv-noc-use

Welcome to CCO Classic....
Enter terminal type (<cr>=vt100, ? for help):

Step 3 Press Return to select VT100 terminal emulation.

The system displays messages similar to the following:

   Cisco Systems, Incorporated - Cisco Connection Online (CCO)
                                         [Enhanced for Lynx!]
_________________________________________________________________
* Enter CCO as a Registered User
* Enter CCO as a Guest User (public information)
* Perform an Online Registration (Maintenance Contract required)
* Help
________________________________________________________________

Step 4 Select Enter CCO as a Guest User (public information), and press Return.

The system displays the Welcome to Cisco Connection Online screen.

Step 5 Select Software Image Library and press Return.

The system displays the Software Image Library (p1 of 4) screen.

Step 6 Select v1 (for SNMP version 1) or v2 (for SNMP version 2) and press Return.

The system displays the first page of the MIB file.

Step 7 Press P.

The system displays the Printing Options (CCOLynx Version 2.5) screen.

Step 8 Select the Mail the file option and press Return.

The system prompts you for a valid Internet mail address.

Step 9 Enter your e-mail address at the prompt, as follows:

Please enter a valid internet mail address: user@domain_name

The CCO Classic interface sends the MIB file to the specified e-mail address.

Defining Instance Identifiers

To access the information that certain MIB variables support, you must enter either an Interface Index (IF-INDEX) or Bridge Identifier (BridgeID) value as an instance identifier. To find the module number and port number to which an IF-INDEX is mapped, read the IfName in the MIB object of the Interface Extension MIB (RFC 1573). Use this method to find the IF-INDEX when you are accessing any of the variables in the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) MIB that require an IF-INDEX for a variable instance identifier (such as "CDP neighbors").
