The Catalyst 2800 can be managed in-band through any SNMP-compatible workstation or through Telnet. This chapter describes how to use the MIBs supplied on the Catalyst 2800 diskettes. The Catalyst 2800 supports standard SNMP MIB II objects as well as SNMP extensions designed to maximize the Catalyst 2800's manageability and configurability.
The complete set of Catalyst 2800 MIB objects are listed by function in the "Standard MIBs and MIB Extensions" section in this chapter. These MIB objects and other SNMP-based management techniques are described in a separate manual, the Catalyst 2000 MIB Reference Manual, available on request from Cisco Systems.
You can use any Telnet TCP/IP package to invoke the management console. The Catalyst 2800 supports up to seven simultaneous Telnet sessions. See the "Out-of-Band Management" chapter for details on the use of the management console.
Although you can manage the Catalyst 2800 with any SNMP-compatible workstation, precompiled MIBs are supplied with the Catalyst 2800 for the following management platforms:
The Catalyst 2800 must be configured with an IP address before it can make available any in-band management. You can assign an individual address to each Catalyst 2800, or you can use the BOOTP protocol to maintain a centralized database of such addresses.
A host machine with a BOOTP server program is needed to use BOOTP. A database containing a list of physical MAC addresses and corresponding IP addresses must be set up on this host. Other information such as the corresponding subnet masks, default gateway addresses and host names, can also be stored in the database but are optional. The Catalyst 2800 must be able to access the BOOTP server through one of its ports.
After a system reset, the Catalyst 2800 looks into its non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) for a configured IP address, and if it exists, a default gateway address and IP subnet mask.
If an IP address has not been configured, the Catalyst 2800 transmits a BOOTP broadcast request to all of its ports having a physical connection, requesting a mapping for its physical MAC address. A valid response will include the IP address, which is mandatory, along with the subnet mask, the default gateway and the host name, which are all optional.
The reception of a valid BOOTP response immediately activates the rest of the system's protocol suite, without requiring a system reset. The information is also saved in the NVRAM so the next reset will not have to redeploy BOOTP.
As long as its IP address remains undiscovered, the Catalyst 2800 will re-send BOOTP requests for thirty minutes.
For more information about using BOOTP, refer to the BOOTP server documentation.
The following pages list the actions you use to manage and configure a Catalyst 2800, and the MIB objects associated with each action. A complete description of the objects, their defaults, and possible values is included in the Catalyst 2000 MIB Reference Manual available from Cisco Systems.
Following are the five supported MIBs:

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 diskette contains the following MIB files:
| cat2000.mib | Catalyst 2800 MIB extensions written in the ASN.1 language. |
| module.mib | Module MIB extensions written in ASN.1 |
| rfc1317.mib | Definitions of managed objects for RS-232-like devices as defined in RFC-1317. Also written in ASN.1 |
| rfc1493.mib | Definitions of managed objects for 802.1d bridge devices. Also written in ASN.1. |
| rfc1512.mib | Definitions of managed objects for Station Management v7.3 in ASN.1. |
The files with .prf are NMS profiles. They are described in the "Using the Supplied NMS Profiles" section in this chapter 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.
\nms\snmpmibs\current
.
With a properly configured Catalyst 2800 on an accessible local network, you are now ready to browse and set the Catalyst 2800 objects included in this Profile.
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 listed above 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:

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 the Catalyst 2800. The diskette contains the following files as well as their precompiled versions, known as schema files.
| cat2000.mib | Catalyst 2800 MIB extensions written in the ASN.1 language. |
| module.mib | Module MIB extensions written in ASN.1 |
| rfc1317.mib | Definitions of managed objects for RS-232-like devices as defined in RFC-1317. Also written in ASN.1. |
| rfc1493.mib | Definitions of managed objects for 802.1d bridge devices. Also written in ASN.1. |
| rfc1512.mib | Definitions of managed objects for Station Management v7.3 in ASN.1. |
The schema files can be immediately integrated into SunNet Manager without additional compilation, following the instructions below. 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.
/opt/SUNWconn/snm
or in the directory designated by the environment variable $SNMHOME.
$SNMHOME/agents
on the SunNet Manager workstation, as follows:
cd $SNMHOME/agents
tar xvf /dev/fd0
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
cd $SNMHOME/agents
tar xvf /dev/rdiskette
/etc/init.d/volmgt start
/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 relevant schema file names to be specified are:
The 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.
This section describes how to load, integrate, and use the Catalyst 2800 MIB extensions with the HP OpenView SNMP Management Platform. The MIB extension files are archived on the Unix TAR diskette included with the Catalyst 2800.

A trap client is a management workstation configured to receive and process traps. The Catalyst 2800 supports up to four trap clients with separate community strings. At least one trap client must be defined before any traps are generated. See the "Network Management (SNMP) Configuration" section in the "Out-of-Band Management" chapter for instructions on defining trap clients. See the "Standard MIBs and MIB Extensions" section in this chapter for the MIB objects to use.
The Catalyst 2800 can generate the following traps:
| warmStart | Generated when the Catalyst 2800 is reset, or after the completion of a firmware upgrade where the new firmware is immediately selected for execution. This could be performed in-band or out-of-band with the management console. |
| coldStart | Generated upon a power-on reset. |
| linkDown | Produced whenever a port changes to a suspended or disabled state due to spanning tree blocking of a redundant path, secure address violation, loss of linkbeat, jabber error, or by management intervention. The trap frame carries the index value of the port. |
| linkUp | Generated when a port changes status from disabled or suspended to enabled. |
| authenticationFailure | Generated when the Catalyst 2800 receives an SNMP message that is not accompanied by a valid community string. |
| newRoot | The Catalyst 2800 sends this bridge-standard trap when it becomes the new root of the spanning tree. |
| topologyChange | From the bridge MIB, this trap is sent by the Catalyst 2800 when any of its ports change from the learning to the forwarding state, or from the forwarding state to the blocking state. |
| logonIntruder | An enterprise-specific trap produced whenever the management console receives repeated logon failures due to invalid passwords. You can define the number of invalid passwords permitted before this trap is produced. |
| switchDiagnostic | The Catalyst 2800 generates this enterprise-specific trap when it does not pass all of the POST tests. Some POST failures are fatal and could prevent the generation of this trap. |
