Introduction
This introduction is divided into two sections. The first section,
"Introduction to the SNMP Reference Guide," explains the SNMP Reference
Guide design. All essential Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
terms are defined in this section. Some of the vocabulary may seem complex
and unfamiliar to system administrators who are using SNMP for the first
time. SNMP experts can skim this section, and beginners can read the section
more carefully.
The second section, "Introduction to the Server Administrator
SNMP Subagent," is a more technical introduction to the management
information base (MIB) that underlies Server Administrator services.
Audience
This guide is intended for system administrators, network administrators, and
anyone who wants to write SNMP MIB applications to monitor systems.

Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB (filename 10892.mib) provides
instrumentation data that allows you to monitor the health of a system with
SNMP management applications. It provides:
• Information about the status of temperatures, power supplies, voltages,
currents, fans, and memory at key points in the system
• Rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by
industry standard systems management agents
• Version information for Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), firmware,
and operating system
• A detailed account of every cost of ownership (COO) detail about your system
In addition, traps are sent to report a change in status of the health of critical
components.
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB structures its MIB objects
into groups of scalar objects or MIB tables that provide related information.
Table 1-2 describes each Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB group
and lists the MIB group number assigned to the MIB group.
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB groups are identified

Introduction 27
SNMP Basic Terminology
It is important to have a good understanding of the key technical terms used
in this guide. This guide provides definitions for all essential terms used in
describing the Server Administrator MIBs. The Glossary contains definitions
for all essential terms and acronyms.
SNMP Master Agent
Typically, the SNMP agent on a managed system consists of one SNMP master
agent and zero or more SNMP extension agents. This SNMP agent extendable
structure facilitates the addition of new MIB modules without having to rebuild
the entire SNMP agent and is invisible to SNMP management applications.
The SNMP master agent is responsible for receiving SNMP request protocol
messages from SNMP management applications and sending SNMP response
protocol messages. As part of processing SNMP request protocol messages,
the SNMP master agent typically communicates with one or more SNMP
extension agents. This communication does not involve standard SNMP
protocol messages. The SNMP master agent uses an extension protocol that
shields the SNMP extension agent from the standard SNMP protocol
messages. The extension protocol also provides a way for SNMP extension
agents to send SNMP event notifications (called traps in SNMPv1).
The SNMP master agent is also responsible for sending SNMP event
notification protocol messages to SNMP management applications.
On supported operating systems, the SNMP master agent is provided with
the operating system. For example, on supported Microsoft
operating systems, the Windows SNMP service is the SNMP master agent.
For information on the versions of the SNMP protocol supported by the
SNMP master agent, see the operating system documentation.
®
Windows®
SNMP Extension Agent
The SNMP extension agent is responsible for registering the MIB objects that
it supports with the SNMP master agent and then processing requests from
the SNMP master agent for those MIB objects. The SNMP extension agent
also initiates event notifications to the SNMP master agent. The SNMP
extension agent does not receive or send standard SNMP protocol messages.
The SNMP extension agent communicates with the SNMP master agent using
an extension protocol defined by the SNMP master agent.
The Server Administrator SNMP subagent is an SNMP extension agent.
28 Introduction
Managed Object
A managed object is any item in a computer system that can be singled out
for discovery, monitoring, or user intervention and correction.
NOTE: Not all managed objects described in this guide are supported by all systems.
MIB
A MIB acts as a structured road map for managed objects. As an Application
Programming Interface (API), a MIB allows systems management tools to
retrieve data maintained by an agent. The server administrator MIB is divided
into several major groups of managed objects.
Variable
A variable is a component of a managed object. A temperature probe, for
example, has a variable to describe its capabilities, its health or status,
and certain indexes that you can use to locate specific temperature probes.
One index for the probe would be the probe’s chassis number. Some systems
may have multiple chassis—one chassis for the central processing unit and
another chassis for storage. A chassis within a system can also have more than
one temperature probe. Variables for a temperature probe include its
capabilities, status, chassis index, and index.
One-Based Index
When an index is one-based, counting starts at 1. One-based indexing counts
the first instance as 1, the second index as 2, and so on.
Zero-Based Index
When an index is zero-based, counting starts at 0. Zero-based indexing
counts the first instance as 0, the second index as 1, and so on.
Introduction 29
Fields
Managed object variables contain fields. In this reference guide, managed
object variables have the following fields defined:
Name is the exact string by which the variable is known in the MIB.
MIB variables are named according to the following conventions:
• Variable names start with a lowercase letter.
• Spaces are not allowed between words in the variable name.
• Acronyms are in uppercase letters, except when an acronym is the first
word in the variable name.
• With the exception of the first letter of the variable name and acronyms,
all other words in the variable name start with capital letters.
The following variable names illustrate these conventions:
– temperatureProbeLowerCriticalThreshold
– coolingUnitIndex
– pCIDeviceSpeed
Object Identifier (OID) is the unique number assigned to an object defined
in a MIB. An OID is written as a sequence of subidentifiers in decimal
notation. Each OID in this reference guide has a prefix that identifies the
managed objects as belonging to Dell™: 1.3.6.1.4.1.674. The additional
numbers identify the MIB group and subgroup as well as the table entry
number of any variables.
For example, the OID for the temperature probe managed object table is
700.20 and the variable for the location of the temperature probe
(temperatureProbeLocationName) has an OID of 700.20.1.8. The full OIDs
for these items are 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20 for the
temperatureProbeTable and 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.8 for the
temperatureProbeLocation. For more information about the structure of
OIDs, see "SNMP MIB OIDs."
Description is a brief explanation of what a particular managed object does.
Syntax defines the data type in which the values of the variable must be
expressed. Most variables in this reference guide use standard data types such
as string or boolean. All data types that are unique to server administrator
variables are defined at the end of the section in which they occur. Standard
data types are defined in "Standard Data Type Definitions."
