Paul> I am trying to monitor a router which has built-in ISDN
Paul> (ie. microlink 64K * 2) and a 12 port repeater module using
Paul> Scotty-2.1.9.
Paul> When using the repeater MIB, I can see repeater port SNMP keys
Paul> of 1.1, 1.2, ..., 1.12 and 1.13, where 1.13 is the connection to
Paul> the internal ethernet and 1.1-12 are the physical hub ports.
Paul> When using an enterprise MIB from the vendor, I can see ISDN
Paul> SNMP keys of 1.3 and 1.4 for the two 64K ISDN channels.
Paul> Therefore, SNMP key numbers of 1.3 and 1.4 map to different
Paul> physical or logical ports when using different MIB OIDs.
Paul> I have a few questions:
Paul> 1. Is this allowed ?
Paul> 2. Is this SNMP key setup common in vendors equipment ?
Paul> 3. Wouldn't this be confusing when receiving traps because you
Paul> won't know which interface the trap is about ?
You have to read the MIB definitions in order to find the answer. The
MIBs must define what is being used to index the tables and what is
being used within a notification. There is no general answer to your
question.
