[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Hughes Lan System MIB extensions

snms4@vaxb.acs.unt.edu (12/14/90)

         I suppose I should have tried the NET first, but I really
         like to think that the best source of support is usually the
         vendor. (*guffaw*)

         I'm installing this really wonderful "free, unsupported,
         available-to-all" SNMP software on my PC that runs with the
         packet driver.  It doesn't support the entire rfc1156 MIB
         (only the system, interfaces, at & ip top level variables)
         but the primitives are there in the enclosed library to, I
         hope, enable you to support anything you dang well please in
         your own program.

         Here's the problem: As far as agents go, I've got Cisco
         routers, and Hughes Lan Systems terminal servers.  I've got
         the Cisco MIB, but the folks at the Hughes Technical
         Assistance Center tell me that there is no written document
         in existance (available to me, anyway) that details the
         Hughes MIB extensions.  It's all supposedly hardcoded into
         their SUN software.

         Is there anyone out there who's running the Hughes SNMP
         software for Suns?  Does it come with a listing of the MIB? 
         Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Hughes MIB? 
         I'm not looking for something 'on the sly', but rather hoping
         that there's a remote chance the fellows I talked to at
         Hughes could have been mistaken and there really is a
         public-access file documenting the Hughes MIB extensions that
         I can get to.

         Thanks in advance,

         oh... by the way:  When I got the Cisco MIB, they pointed me
         to a host that had just TONs of MIB extensions online. 
         naturally, I lost the address.  Would anyone know where this
         is?

Summary says it all... anon ftp venera.isi.edu, the ~/mib subdir has 
listings for 10 or 12 vendors-- certainly no tonnage there-- I don't 
remember seeing Hughes in there, either.
