This topic provides a brief description of the MIBs and Tables that can be chosen as Compass Search Options when setting Compass options.
- ipNetToMedia
- IP Address Translation table used for mapping from IP addresses to physical addresses. This table is read whenever an entry is found by IP Route or IP CIDR Route searches, regardless whether the IPNetToMedia is checked. Checking the IPNetToMedia checkbox only affects whether or not the entire IPNetToMedia table is read.
Check this MIB when your network includes devices that do not support Node/Alias (ctAlias MIB). You should include your routers in your search scope when this MIB is checked. This selection can be un-checked when your network is comprised only of devices that support Node/Alias, thus improving search performance.
- 802.1x Authentication (PAE)
- Port Access Entity module for managing IEEE 802.1X.
Check this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so checking this MIB is usually not necessary.
- MAC Locking
- Provides configuration and status objects pertaining to per port MAC Locking.
Check this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so checking this MIB is usually not necessary.
- Enterasys IGMP
- Extends the Standard IGMP MIB for configuration of IGMP on Enterasys devices.
Check this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so checking this MIB is usually not necessary.
- Dot1dTpFdb
- This table contains information about unicast entries for which the bridge has forwarding and/or filtering information. This information is used by the transparent bridging function in determining how to propagate a received frame.
Check this MIB to resolve MAC addresses to a port.
- Enterasys 802.1x Ext.
- Supplements/used in connection with the standard IEEE 802.1x MIB. It provides a convenient way to retrieve authentication status for Supplicants living on shared-media ports that use station-based access control. (Here, a MAC address is a much more natural table index than a port or interface number.)
Check this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so checking this MIB is usually not necessary.
- Node/Alias (ctAlias)
- This MIB defines objects that can be used to discover end systems per port, and to map end system addresses to the layer 2 address of the port.
Check this MIB to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses when the devices in your network support the Node/Alias (ctAlias) MIB.
- IGMP Standard
- MIB module for IGMP Management, it contains an IGMP Interface Table, having one row for each interface on which IGMP is enabled, and an IGMP Cache Table with one row for each IP multicast group for which there are members on a particular interface.
Check this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so checking this MIB is usually not necessary.
- IP Route
- An entity's IP Routing table. This selection provides the ability to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses.
Check this MIB when your network includes devices that do not support Node/Alias (ctAlias MIB). You should include your routers in your search scope when this MIB is checked. This selection can be un-checked when your network is comprised only of devices that support Node/Alias, thus improving search performance.
- Dot1qTpFdb
- A table that contains information about unicast entries for which the device has forwarding and/or filtering information. This information is used by the transparent bridging function in determining how to propagate a received frame.
- PWA (Enterasys Port Web Authentication)
- Check this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so checking this MIB is usually not necessary.
- MAC Authentication
- Used for authentication using source MAC addresses received in traffic on ports under control of MAC-authentication.
Check this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so checking this MIB is usually not necessary.
- IP CIDR Route
- The IP CIDR Route Table obsoletes and replaces the ipRoute Table current in MIB-I and MIB-II and the IP Forwarding Table. It adds knowledge of the autonomous system of the next hop, multiple next hops, and policy routing, and Classless Inter-Domain Routing.
Check this MIB when your network includes devices that do not support Node/Alias (ctAlias MIB). You should include your routers in your search scope when this MIB is checked. This selection can be un-checked when your network is comprised only of devices that support Node/Alias, thus improving search performance.
- Dot1q VLAN Static
- A table containing static configuration information for each VLAN configured into the device by (local or network) management. All entries are permanent and are restored after restarting the device.
- Dot1q VLAN Current
- A table containing current configuration information for each VLAN currently configured into the device by (local or network) management, or dynamically created as a result of GVRP requests received.
