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.

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.

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
