directory like all other managed devices on your network. For more information on using the MIB, refer to Section 3.3, “Testing the Subagent”.

The client tools need to load the Directory Server MIB to use the variable names listed in the following sections.

You can see administrative information about your directory and monitor the server in real-time using the directory MIB. The directory MIB is broken into four distinct tables of managed objects:

Section 6.2, “Entries Table”

Section 6.3, “Entity Table”

Section 6.4, “Interaction Table”
