What Is SMC-AGENT-MIB?

SMC-AGENT-MIB is an enterprise MIB from SMC Networks for its host/workstation-resident SNMP agent, historically used to manage DOS-based network workstations and their local network adapter. It exposes system identification and agent operational parameters, plus DOS-workstation-specific tables covering local drive space and configured SNMP trap destinations. Its monitoring role centers on basic software/host health for the managed workstation: tracking available drive space as an early disk-full warning, and confirming trap destinations are correctly configured so alerts actually reach a management station. It relies on the base community-based SNMPv1/v2c framework typical of its era rather than any newer security or transport-layer MIB. It was deployed on SMC Networks-equipped DOS workstations in legacy LAN environments where a lightweight host agent supplemented the network adapter's own management functions, and administrators could download the SMC-AGENT-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser for this legacy monitoring.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SMC-AGENT-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

SMC Networks-managed DOS workstation/host agent

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll smcDosWsDrvSpcTable to check remaining local drive space on each managed DOS workstation and catch one running low before it fails to write log or swap files, while smcDosWsTrapDestTable confirms the workstation is still configured to send its traps to the correct management console. The smc and smcDosWs subtree objects provide basic identification of which SMC-managed hosts are present.

What Can Be Monitored

local drive/disk space remaining
configured trap destination addresses
workstation identification

STR smcDosWsPcTyp	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.1	DisplayString	read-only	Make and model of the PC. This may have to be entered in the configuration disk file. It may or may not be detectable via signature strings in the BIOS.
STR smcDosWsPcProc	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.2	DisplayString	read-only	This is a text string showing the processor type and indicating whether a math coprocessor exists, e.g. '80286 w/math coprocessor'.
STR smcDosWsPcBios	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.3	DisplayString	read-only	This is a text signature string identifying the PC bios, e.g. 'Phoenix 80386SX ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10'.
STR smcDosWsPcRam	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.4	DisplayString	read-only	This is a text string listing the PC's ram configuration, base, EMS, XMS, e.g. '640K base, 1024K EMS, 3072K XMS'.
STR smcDosWsPcDisk	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.5	DisplayString	read-only	This is a text string listing the PC's disk configuration, number and size of drives, e.g. '1.25M Fpy, 1.44M Fpy, 79M HD'.
STR smcDosWsPcVideo	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.6	DisplayString	read-only	This is a text string listing the PC's video interface type and monitor type, e.g. 'VGA Color'.
STR smcDosWsPcIo	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.7	DisplayString	read-only	This is a text string listing the parallel and serial ports installed on the PC, e.g. 'LPT1, COM1, COM2'.
STR smcDosWsDosVer	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.8	DisplayString	read-only	This is a text string listing the version of DOS, e.g. 'DOS 3.3'.
STR smcDosWsDrvId	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.9	DisplayString	read-only	This is the signature string from the network driver. It is similar to the string that is displayed by the NetWare server MONITOR nlm.
STR smcDosWsNicBasIo	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.10	DisplayString	read-only	This is the I/O base address of the adapter card.
STR smcDosWsNicIrq	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.11	DisplayString	read-only	This is the adapter IRQ number.
STR smcDosWsNicRam	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.12	DisplayString	read-only	This is the adapter card packet ram address.
MAC smcDosWsNodId	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.13	MacAddress	read-only	This is the adapter card 48 bit node ID.
IP smcDosWsIpAdr	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.14	IpAddress	read-only	This is the IP address of the PC. The agent takes this information from a configuration disk file. If the PC is also running a TCP/IP stack, it is up to the installer to specify in the agent configuration file the same IP address that the PC's TCP/IP stack has.
STR smcDosWsComment	1.3.6.1.4.1.202.2.15	DisplayString	read-write	This is a text string which is set from a configuration disk file that contains comments about the PC that the network manager feels is meaningful. For example 'Motherboard replaced 3 times in the last year'.
