CISCO-BSC-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

                "The MIB module for BSC.

   Overview of BSC MIB
  
   MIB description
   
   The BSC MIB provides the configuration and operational information 
   on Cisco's Binary Synchronous Communications implementation.  The 
   following entities are managed:
    1) BSC ports (serial interfaces)
    2) BSC Control Units (stations on a port)
  
   The BSC ports are identified by the interface index, and additional 
   information about this interface can be obtained from the Cisco 
   Serial Interface MIB.  
   The BSC Control Units are identified by the Control Unit address; 
   this is the address used by BSTUN to route the BSC traffic - it is
   therefore equivalent to the bstunRouteStationAddress in the 
   bstunRouteTable MIB.
