Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)

If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

TCP/IP MIB Modules and Object Groups
(Page 2 of 4)

Generic MIB Object Groups

Table 208 shows the eight generic SNMP groups defined in RFC 1158 along with their codes, names and numbers.


Table 208: SNMP Generic MIB Object Groups

Group Name

Group Code

Group Number

Full Group Identifier

Description

system

sys

1

1.3.6.1.2.1.1

General objects of relevance to all or most devices. For example, a general description of the device is an object in this group, as is the identifier of the object. Later MIB versions greatly expanded the number of variables in this group.

Interfaces

if

2

1.3.6.1.2.1.2

Objects related to the IP interfaces between this device and the internetwork; recall that a regular host normally has one interface while a router has two or more.

at (address translation)

at

3

1.3.6.1.2.1.3

Objects used for IP address translation. (No longer used.)

ip

ip

4

1.3.6.1.2.1.4

Objects related to the IP layer of the device as a whole (as opposed to interface-specific information in the if group.)

icmp

icmp

5

1.3.6.1.2.1.5

Objects related to the operation of the Internet Control Message Protocol.

tcp

tcp

6

1.3.6.1.2.1.6

Objects related to the operation of the Transmission Control Protocol.

udp

udp

7

1.3.6.1.2.1.7

Objects related to the operation of the User Datagram Protocol.

egp

egp

8

1.3.6.1.2.1.8

Objects related to the operation of the Exterior Gateway Protocol.

cmot

cmot

9

1.3.6.1.2.1.9

Objects related to running the CMIP protocol over TCP (historical, not used.)

transmission

trans

10

1.3.6.1.2.1.10

Objects related to the specific method of information transmission used by each interface on the system.

snmp

snmp

11

1.3.6.1.2.1.11

Objects used to manage SNMP itself.


All of the groups in this table are fairly generic, and with the exception of the one about EGP, apply to pretty much every TCP/IP system using SNMP. The first five groups and the last one are “mandatory” for all systems; the others are used only by devices that use the indicated protocols or functions. The mention of EGP, a routing protocol now considered obsolete, shows the age of this list.
