Overview of the SNMP Reference Guide

The SNMP reference guide provides a formatted version of the following MIB that are released with the current version of Command | Monitor.

The Command | Monitor MIB (10909.mib) provides instrumentation data that allows you to monitor the health of a client system with SNMP management applications. It provides:

• Information about the status at key points in the system.
• Rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by industry-standard systems management agents.
• Version information for BIOS, firmware, and operating system. 

NOTE: From Dell Command | Monitor version 9.0 onwards, the 10892 MIB is not supported. The 10909 MIB identifies the client systems.
