Accessing Bridge MIBs
The system provides three commands in the General menu for use in accessing various
bridge MIBs from IEEE 802.1D-1990 MAC bridges on LAN segments. These commands
include:
Bridge 802.1d—Use this command to access bridge MIB objects included in the
dot1dBase group. These objects are applicable to all types of bridges.
Spanning Tree—Use this command to access and set some of the MIB objects included
in the dot1dStp group. This group only applies to bridges that implement the Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP).
Transparent Bridge—Use this command to access and set some of the MIB objects
included in the dot1dTp and dot1dStatic groups. These groups only apply to bridges
that implement transparent bridging and destination-address filtering. You can also
use this command to access some MIB objects (for statistics) from the dot1dTp group.
To access the above MIBs from a bridge, select the corresponding icon of the target
bridge from the map. Then, choose the appropriate command from the General menu
to select the MIB group(s) you want to access. Each command provides a submenu for
selecting specific objects from the selected group. See the sections below for more
information.
Bridge 802.1d →Information
This command provides some basic information about the selected bridge.
When you choose this command, the Information dialog box appears:
The following describes each column:
The Objects column lists the available MIB objects. For information about these
objects, see the discussion below.
The Description column displays the current value of each displayed object.
The Refresh button refreshes the table. You need to refresh the table once in a while to
ensure all updates performed on the device are reflected on this table. The following
describes the various MIB objects displayed on the above table:
The Bridge Address object corresponds to the Dot1dBaseBridgeAddress MIB object of
the dot1dBase group. This read-only object displays the MAC address of the selected
bridge. MAC address is a unique, fixed hardware address burned into the interface of
the device. This address is sometimes used when deriving the device IP address.
