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 for which you want to monitor. For more information, see RFC 1213.

Example A.

If you want to monitor the volume of data traveling from your router, you select ifOutOctets in the MIB object tree and insert 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16 in the MIB box.

Example B.

If you are interested in the operating status value of a port on your router, you select ifOperStatus and insert 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8 in the MIB box.

Example C.

If you are interested in errors from a specific port on your router, you select ifInErrors, and inserting 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14 in the MIB box.
