MIBDESC.DATA statement

The MIBDESC.DATA statement syntax is: 
short_name asn.1_name type time_to_live
where:
  • short name is the textual name for the MIB object, either as defined in the MIB definition or chosen by the customer.
  • asn.1_name is the MIB object identifier that describes the location of the object in the MIB tree.
  • type is the syntax of the MIB object.
  • time_to_live is the number of seconds the SNMP Query Engine can cache the object before requesting an updated copy from the SNMP agent.
The following SNMP variable type values (from SMI version 1) are supported in the type field of the MIBDESC.DATA statement:
  • Number for integers
  • String for octet strings
  • Object for object identifiers
  • Internet for IP addresses
  • Counter for counters (unsigned)
  • Gauge for gauge (unsigned)
  • Ticks for time ticks
  • Display for display strings
  • Table for table header variables
  • Empty for no value
