MIB Tables

MIB Tables

Related objects are normally grouped together to form a table. For example, the interface table (“ifTable” “1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2”) contains information about each interface of the device. Objects in this table are accessed by adding a dot-number to the object name or identifier to select the desired interface. In this table the interface description object is “ifDesc” “1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2”, so the description of the tenth interface is contained in “ifDescr.10” “1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.10”.
