Selecting an Object in the MIB Tree
In order to select the appropriate object in the MIB tree, you need to be familiar with the MIB
names for the SNMP objects you want to monitor. For more information, see RFC 1213.
Example A. Suppose you want to monitor the volume of data going out through your router,
select ifOutOctets in the MIB object tree, thus inserting 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16 in the MIB box.
Example B. Suppose you are interested in the operating status value of a port on your router,
select ifOperStatus, thus inserting 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8 in the MIB box.
Example C. Suppose you are interested in the errors on a port on your router, select
ifInErrors, thus inserting 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14 in the MIB box.
