MIB

Thales Group provides the following MIBs (management information base) in the Luna HSM Client installation package:

MIB Name Description
CHRYSALIS-UTSP-MIB.txt Defines SNMP access to information about the SafeNet appliance.
SAFENET-HSM-MIB.txt Defines SNMP access to information about the SafeNet Luna HSM.
SAFENET-GLOBAL-MIB.txt Must be found in your system path so that symbols can be resolved.
SAFENET-APPLIANCE-MIB.txt Reports the software version of SafeNet Luna Network HSM appliance.

Copy all MIBs in <Luna_HSM_Client_install_dir>/snmp to the MIB directory on your system. Only the MIBs necessary for SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM and SafeNet Luna USB HSM are included in a client installation.

For SafeNet Luna Network HSM, the host is the appliance, so all the above MIBs are installed on the appliance. See SNMP Traps in the Syslog and SNMP Monitoring Guide for information on configuring SNMP trap notifications.

NOTE   Your SNMP application also requires the following standard SNMP MIBs:

>SNMPv2-SMI.txt -- defined in RFC 2578, Section 2

>SNMPv2-TC.txt -- defined in RFC 2579, Section 2
