Available OIDs
Description
OID stands for an object identifier, which is a data type specifying an authoritatively named object.
An object identifier is a sequence of integers separated by decimal points. These integers traverse a
tree structure, similar to the DNS or a Unix filesystem. There is an unnamed root at the top of the
tree where the object identifiers start. All variables in the MIB start with the object identifier
1.3.6.1.2.1. Each node in the tree is also given a textual name. The names of the MIB variables are
the numeric object identifiers, all of which begin with 1.3.6.1.2.1. You can use the SNMP protocol
to get statistics from the router in these submenus:
