 Cisco MDS 9000 Family MIB Quick Reference
Text Part Number: OL-18087-01
February, 2009
This document describes the private, or local, 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:
MIBs and Network Management
The Cisco MDS 9000 Family MIB Quick Reference lists Cisco proprietary MIBs as well as many other 
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard MIBs. These standard 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.
