Book B

Global Port Parameters vs. MIB Objects

Table B-32

lists the global port parameters corresponding to the MIB

object names.

Table B-33

lists the PPP and SLIP port parameters and the

corresponding MIB object names.

Table B-29

lists the T1-specific

parameters and the corresponding MIB object names.

•

All global port private MIB object names are preceded by the
string

“.iso.org.dod.internet.private

.enterprises.xylogics.annex.ports.portTable.portEntry.”

and

appended by the port instance number.

•

The following string precedes the object names that are in the
rs232 MIB:
“.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.transmission.rs232.”

•

The string “.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.char.” precedes the
MIB object names that are in the charlikeMIB.
