What Is CAT2600-MIB?

CAT2600-MIB is a Cabletron Systems enterprise MIB for the CAT2600 switching hub, an older Token Ring/switching product, that manages port configuration, traffic statistics, and operational status. Based on the available data it covers Token Ring-specific port attributes, including a port's beacon station address and Next Active Upstream Neighbor (NAUN), both used to pinpoint Token Ring beaconing faults, along with the broader port configuration and traffic-statistics scope implied by its description. Its monitoring emphasis is on port-level hardware/link status and traffic performance, letting an operator locate exactly where on the ring a beaconing fault originates and confirm that port traffic and status are otherwise healthy. It is a Cabletron-proprietary schema with no evident dependency on external standard MIBs beyond typical Token Ring conventions. It is deployed on legacy Cabletron CAT2600 switching hubs in Token Ring network environments, where CAT2600-MIB SNMP monitoring remains useful for isolating beaconing faults to a specific port.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CAT2600-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Cisco Catalyst 2600 switching hub (legacy)

Monitoring Examples

An operator diagnosing a Token Ring fault would check cat2600TsPortBeaconStationAddress and cat2600TsPortBeaconNAUN on the affected port to identify the beaconing station and its nearest active upstream neighbor, pinpointing the fault to a specific cable segment or adapter. Persistent beacon addresses reported over successive polls would confirm an ongoing hardware or cabling fault rather than a transient ring reconfiguration.

What Can Be Monitored

  • beacon station address per port
  • Next Active Upstream Neighbor (NAUN) per port
  • port configuration/traffic statistics
