IF MIB Tables
The following table gives a brief description of the IF MIB:
1. The ifGeneralInformationGroup. This group contains those objects applicable to
all types of network interfaces, including bit-oriented interfaces.
2. The ifPacketGroup. This group contains those objects applicable to packet-
oriented network interfaces.
3. The ifFixedLengthGroup. This group contains the objects applicable not only to
character-oriented interfaces, such as RS-232, but also to those subnetwork
technologies, such as cell-relay/ATM, which transmit data in fixed length
transmission units. As well as the octet counters, there are also a few other
counters (e.g., the error counters) that are useful for this type of interface, but are
