4.8 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the network protocol developed to
manage devices on an IP network.
To exchange information, SNMP relies on a Management Information Base (MIB)
that contains information about parameters to supervise. A MIB format is a tree
structure, with each node identified by a numerical Object Identifier (OID). Each OID
identifies a variable that can be read or set via SMP with the appropriate software.
4.8.1 Supported MIB
The SNMP MIB consists of distinct OIDs, each of which refers to a defined collection of
specific information used to manage devices over the network.
GE Grid Solutions management information bases (MIB) use the following types of
object identifiers (OID):
• BRIDGE-MIB (RFC 1493)
• SNMPv2-MIB (RFC 1907)
• TCP-MIB (RFC 2012)
• UDP-MIB (RFC 2013)
• SNMPv2-SMI (RFC 2578)
• SNMPv2-TC (RFC 2579)
• RMON-MIB (RFC 2819)
• IF-MIB (RFC 2863)
• PRP/HSR MIB (IEC 62439-3)
• Power Profile MIB (IEEE C37.238)
