MIB Descriptions

C-3

7612-A2-GB20-10 November 1997
Interfaces Group

The Interfaces Group as defined in RFC 1573 consists of an object indicating the

number of interfaces supported by the unit and an interface table containing an

entry for each interface. Since RFC 1573 is an SNMPv2 MIB, it is converted to

SNMPv1 for support by the unit. Table C-2 provides clarification for objects

contained in the Interfaces group when it is not clear how the object definition in

RFC 1573 is supported by the unit.
