SNMP MIB Objects

Interface Group – “ifIndex” Object (ifEntry 1)

This object provides the index into the ifTable and typically into tables in other MIBs also. The values of the ifIndex object do not vary between models even though not all indexes are supported for a particular model. When an unsupported index is accessed, “noSuchName” is returned.

The following are the values of the ifIndexes for all DSU/CSU models:

H1–Net T1

H2–DTE T1

H3–COM port

H4–Modem port

H5–Auxiliary RS-232 port

H6–DCE port 1

H7–DCE port 2

H8–DCE port 3

H9–DCE port 4

The supported ifIndexes for the 3162 DSU/CSU are:

HNet T1

HDTE T1

HCOM port

HDCE port 1

HDCE port 2

Interface Group – “ifDescr” Object (ifEntry 2)

This object provides information about the interface. Each interface displays a text string as shown below:

Network T1:

“Network T1. [Company Name] T1 DSU/CSU, Hardware

 

Version: [CCA number]”.

DTE T1:

“DTE T1. [Company Name] T1 DSU/CSU, Hardware
