Introduction

When the SNMP agent is configured, the BMENUA0100 module enables SNMP diagnostics in the TCP/IP-based Ethernet network by supporting the following MIBs:

  • MIB-II

  • Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) MIB

MIB-II

MIB-II provides an SNMP manager with a collection of device management variables. By reading these variables, an SNMP manager can diagnose the operation of a specific device, such as the BMENUA0100.

LLDP MIB

The LLDP MIB contains data collected by operation of the link layer discovery protocol relating to the identity, capabilities, and location on the Ethernet network. Using the LLDP MIB, an SNMP manager can discover the topology of the network and the capabilities of the network devices.

NOTE: SNMP communication of LLDP MIB data is made exclusively over the backplane port.
