Install Catalyst 2800 MIB Extensions in a Novell NMS Environment

This section describes how to load and integrate the Catalyst 2800 MIB extensions into Novell's NetWare Management System (NMS). These files are located with the NMS profiles on the Catalyst 2800 DOS-formatted diskette included with the Catalyst 2800.

The files with .prf are NMS profiles. They are described in the section "Using the Supplied NMS Profiles" and can be integrated into Novell NMS after performing steps 1 and 2 in the following procedure. These instructions are specific to Novell NMS version 2.0 and 2.1. For other versions or for additional information, consult your Novell NMS documentation.

Step 1 Copy the MIB files. Using the DOS copy command, transfer the cat2000.mib, module.mib, rfc1493.mib, rfc1317.mib, and rfc1512.mib files to the current NMS directory. For a standard NMS installation, this directory is usually \nms\snmpmibs\current.

Step 2 From the NMS main window, select the Tools>SNMP MIB Compiler command. Confirm this action by clicking OK to compile all current MIB definitions. For the compilation to succeed, any existing browser windows must first be closed.

Step 3 Select the Tools>SNMP MIB Browser command from the NMS main window to view and set the Catalyst 2800 MIB objects.

Step 4 Click Add to invoke the Profile Editor for creating a new profile. The names of all the available Catalyst 2800 scalar and table objects should now be listed in the Group Attribute Choices box of the Profile Editor window.

Step 5 Choose the objects or tables to be added to the new Profile's Attribute Selection box as appropriate.

Step 6 Enter a name and description for the Profile, as well as a community string and a display attribute as needed.

Step 7 Click Save to store the named Profile to disk.

Step 8 Enable Catalyst 2800 enterprise-specific traps: to activate or deactivate the ability to receive and process any type of traps at the NMS station, the Fault>Alarm Disposition command must be used. Refer to the NMS User's Guide for detailed information.


Using the Supplied NMS Profiles

The Catalyst 2800 diskette contains a number of NMS profiles that have been set up with Catalyst 2800 MIB objects. These files are provided for convenience and can be used without change. Steps 1 and 2 in the previous section must be completed before these profiles can be used. Copy the files *.prf to the directory \nms\snmpmibs\profiles for a standard NMS installation. The supplied profiles are as follows:

Install Catalyst 2800 MIB Extensions in a SunNet Manager Environment

This section describes how to load, integrate and use the Catalyst 2800 MIB extensions with SunNet Manager. These files are archived in TAR format on the UNIX TAR diskette included with Catalyst 2800. The diskette contains the following files as well as their precompiled versions known as schema files.

The schema files can be immediately integrated into SunNet Manager without requiring additional compilation, using the following instructions. These instructions are specific to SunNet Manager versions 2.1 and 2.2. For other versions or for additional information, consult your SunNet Manager documentation.

Step 1 Insert the Catalyst 2800 UNIX TAR diskette into the floppy drive of the SunNet Manager workstation.

Step 2 Use TAR to extract the MIB files.

SunNet Manager is typically installed in the default directory /opt/SUNWconn/snm or in the directory designated by the environment variable $SNMHOME.

Using the UNIX TAR command, extract all files on the Catalyst 2800 UNIX diskette into the directory $SNMHOME/agents on the SunNet Manager workstation, as follows: 
    cd $SNMHOME/agents         
    tar xvf /dev/fd0

On some UNIX platforms, the name of the floppy device may be different. On SunOS 5.3, you might need to stop the Volume Manager before the TAR diskette can be read. Become the root user and type the following: 
    /etc/init.d/volmgt stop        
    cd $SNMHOME/agents
    tar xvf /dev/rdiskette
    /etc/init.d/volmgt start

The following schemas are also included on the diskette:

cat2000.mib.schema

cat2000.mib.oid

cat2000.mib.traps

module.mib.schema

module.mib.oid

rfc1317.mib.schema

rfc1317.mib.oid

rfc1493.mib.schema

rfc1493.mib.oid

rfc1493.mib.traps

rfc1512.mib.schema

rfc1512.mib.oid

Step 3 Set up the SunNet Manager SNMP target configuration file.

Locate the keyword na.snmp.hostfile in the file /etc/snm.conf. This keyword points to the file the SNMP proxy agent and SNMP trap proxy use to obtain target-specific information. In this file, add an entry for each target Catalyst 2800 that is to be managed. The following are the relevant schema file names to be specified:

cat2000.mib.schema

cat2000.mib.traps

module.mib.schema

rfc1317.mib.schema

rfc1493.mib.traps

rfc1512.mib.schema

Refer to the SunNet Manager Reference Manual for a detailed specification of the file named by the keyword na.snmp.hostfile.

Step 4 Integrate Catalyst 2800 MIB files into SunNet Manager.

If the SunNet Manager application has not been started, start it now.

The SunNet Manager will now recognize the Catalyst 2800 and module enterprise-specific MIB and trap schemas, and the RFC-1317, RFC-1493 and RFC-1512 MIB schemas.

Step 5 Manage Catalyst 2800 via the SunNet Manager Discover tool.

Use the SunNet Manager Discover tool to locate and map Catalyst 2800. Once Catalyst 2800 is discovered and added as an icon to the network map, set up the icon properties to process the Catalyst 2800 and module schemas, and the RFC-1317, RFC-1493 and RFC-1512 schemas. These schemas will be displayed with the names CATALYST-2000-MIB, MODULE-MIB, RFC1317-MIB, BRIDGE-MIB, and FDDI-SMT73-MIB, respectively, on the icon properties window.

Step 6 Click on the boxes to the left of CATALYST-2000-MIB, MODULE-MIB, RFC1317-MIB, BRIDGE-MIB and FDDI-SMT73-MIB to enable management using these schemas.

Step 7 Type localhost on the proxy line to use the local SNMP proxy agent.

Catalyst 2800 is now manageable using the various facilities provided by SunNet Manager including the Quick Dump, Data Report, Event Report and Set Request facilities.
