Identification of the IPLink devices via SNMP
All IPLink devices have assigned sysObjectID (.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysObjectID) num-
bers (see
table 11
).
According to
table 11
, an SNMP get request to .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysObjectID of an
IPLink 2802 device reads out a numeric OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1. 1768.2.2.8.1, which represents an IPLink 2802.
The mapping of the sysObjectID to each of the IPLink model is realized with the IPLink product identifica-
tion MIB.
