Viewing Module Information

FDDI port status color codes always reflect the port’s connection status, even 
when the LER Estimate port display form has been selected. Under that color 
coding scheme:

•

CON (Connecting) = yellow

•

ACT (Active) = green

•

SBY (Standby) = red

•

DIS (Disabled) = red

Like most networking devices, Cabletron’s devices draw their functionality from 
a collection of proprietary MIBs and IETF RFCs. In addition, Cabletron’s newer 
intelligent devices – like the 9A128-01 – organize their MIB data into a series of 
“components.” A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIB data, and each 
group controls a defined set of objects. For example, 9A128-01 bridging 
information is organized into its own component; FDDI and ATM information 
resides in two separate components, one for each of the 9A128-01’s interfaces. 
Note, too, that there is no one-to-one correspondence between MIBs and MIB 
components; a single MIB component might contain objects from several different 
proprietary MIBs and RFCs.

The Chassis Manager window, 

, is a read-only window that displays 

the MIBs and the MIB components — and, therefore, the functionality — 
supported by the currently monitored device. 

To view the Chassis Manager window:

1.

Click on Help on the far right of the menu bar at the top of the chassis 
manager window.

2.

Drag down to MIBs Supported, and release.
