The subject says it all. 1/ Is there a MIB for a Novell server ? 2/ While I am here, I would also like to know if network management systems like HP-OPENVIEW , Novell NMS , Sun net manager ... export some MIB to allow 'external applications' ( by external I mean application that are not written specifically for those network management platforms ) to query network information from their database ? Thank for your answers. -- Alexis MERMET-GRANDFILLES Voice: 415-617-2943 Software Engineer. R&D Fax: 415-321-0855 Network General Corp.

>Is there a MIB for a Novell server ? Yes. Base NetWare 3.11 supports MIB I on IP. There is an update to SNMP available from Novell in a variety of products, or to any customer who pesters their reseller for it :-) that supports MIB-II. In addition, there is a portion of the NetWare Management System called NetExplorer Plus that is freely duplicatable to all servers within an enterprise that implements another MIB that contains some discovery information to aid in mapping the database. This MIB is included within the NMS product. > >2/ >While I am here, I would also like to know if network management systems >like HP-OPENVIEW , Novell NMS , Sun net manager ... export some MIB to allow >'external applications' ( by external I mean application that are not written >specifically for those network management platforms ) to query network >information from their database ? In general, I don't think management systems have this type of MIB. Novell's NMS, for instance, doesn't allow SNMP queries to the database. What it does have is an open database schema allowing applications to do btrieve queries to the database. The app could then export the data via SNMP if it chose to do so.

Ooops, I forgot one thing. The base MIB-I is IP only (I think) but all of the other MIBs and the base SNMP agent 2.0 support both IP and IPX transparently across all MIBs.
