About the DXi SNMP Agent and Quantum MIB

Your DXi operating system runs Linux, and the DXi SNMP agent is the Net-SNMP 5.7.1. Whenever a request comes in to the DXi SNMP agent, the agent parses the request and decides how to process it, as follows:

  • If the request is for non-Quantum specific MIB objects such as the MIB-II (defined in rfc1213), the DXi SNMP agent responds directly to the request.
  • If the request is for a Quantum specific MIB object, the DXi SNMP agent passes the data to the DXi SNMP subagent that processes all Quantum specific MIB objects. The DXi SNMP subagent processes the request and returns the data to the DXi SNMP agent.

Quantum SNMP MIB

The DXi SNMP agent that supports the DXi system also supports the general Quantum MIB, QUANTUM-SNMP.MIB. The following illustrates the structure of the Quantum MIB object ID.

Note: The DXi SNMP agent also supports MIBII, SNMPv2, and UCD MIBs by default.
