Cisco Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS Software Release 6.2 Technische Referenzen

The Cisco MDS 9000 Family MIB Quick Reference Reference describes the Management Information 
Base (MIB) files for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of multilayer directors and fabric switches. The Cisco 
MIB files are provided with all Cisco MDS NX-OS and SAN-OS software releases. The MIB files 
contain variables that can be set or read to provide information about network devices and interfaces. 

This document provides the following information:

This document lists MIBs as well as many other Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard MIBs. 
These MIBs are defined in documents called Requests for Comments (RFCs). To find specific MIB 
information, you must examine the Cisco proprietary MIB structure and related IETF-standard MIBs 
supported by the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. 

From the perspective of a network manager, network management takes place between two major types 
of systems: those in control, called managing systems, and those observed and controlled, called managed 
systems. The most common managing system is called a network management system (NMS). Managed 
systems can include hosts, servers, or network components such as switches or intelligent repeaters. 
CiscoWorks is an example of an NMS.

To promote interoperability, cooperating systems must adhere to a common framework and a common 
language, called a protocol. In the Internet-standard management framework, that protocol is the Simple 
Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
