Description: McAfee Inc. SNMP SMI registration MIB defining the enterprise OID structure for McAfee security product MIBs.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is MCAFEE-SMI?
MCAFEE-SMI is the top-level Structure of Management Information (SMI) MIB for McAfee Inc., a security software vendor, defining the enterprise OID arc under which all McAfee-specific product MIBs are registered. As an SMI/root registration module it does not itself expose runtime data objects such as performance counters, hardware sensors, or fault traps; it only establishes the OID tree structure that other McAfee MIBs build upon. Consequently it has no direct role in monitoring hardware or software status; its value is purely structural, letting SNMP tooling correctly parse and namespace OIDs from actual McAfee product MIBs (e.g., endpoint or gateway security management MIBs) that are registered beneath it. Because it is a root/SMI-only definition, it depends on the standard SNMPv2-SMI framework (RFC 2578) for its ASN.1 module conventions but has no other MIB dependencies. It is present in any environment running McAfee security management software that exposes SNMP-based management interfaces, as the shared enterprise-OID foundation for those product-specific MIBs. Engineers can download the MCAFEE-SMI file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MCAFEE-SMI. 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
- vendor-neutral SMI registration module, applicable to any McAfee security product using SNMP
Monitoring Examples
This module is an SMI/registration module with no sample runtime objects; it defines only the McAfee enterprise OID root under which actual monitoring MIBs (e.g., for endpoint or gateway security appliances) would register their own object trees, so no concrete monitoring scenario applies here.
