interfaceTopNObjectVariable
Module: INTERFACETOPN-MIB
OID (symbolic): INTERFACETOPN-MIB::interfaceTopNObjectVariable
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.27.1.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-create
Description: The particular variable to be sampled.
Values between 0 and 22, point to MIB objects defined in IF-MIB [RFC2863].
Values between 23 and 37, point to MIB objects defined in EtherLike-MIB [RFC2665].
Values between 38 and 55, point to MIB objects defined in TOKENRING-MIB [RFC1748].
Values between 56 and 72, point to MIB objects defined in RMON-MIB [RFC2819].
Values between 73 and 75, point to MIB objects defined in BRIDGE-MIB [RFC1493].
Because SNMP access control is articulated entirely in terms of the contents of MIB views, no access control mechanism exists that can restrict the value of this object to identify only those objects that exist in a particular MIB view. Because there is thus no acceptable means of restricting the read access that could be obtained through the TopN mechanism, the probe must only grant write access to this object in those views that have read access to all objects on the probe.
During a set operation, if the supplied variable name is not available in the selected MIB view, or does not conform the other conditions mentioned above, a badValue error must be returned.
This object may not be modified if the associated interfaceTopNControlStatus object is equal to active(1).
What is interfaceTopNObjectVariable?
This read-create integer selects which specific MIB counter or gauge -- drawn from IF-MIB, EtherLike-MIB, TOKENRING-MIB, RMON-MIB, or BRIDGE-MIB depending on the numeric range -- is sampled for a Top N report, and it cannot be modified while the associated control entry is active. Admins set this to choose exactly which interface statistic (like ifOutErrors or etherStatsCollisions) the agent should rank interfaces by. For example, setting this to the value corresponding to ifOutDiscards configures the report to rank interfaces by their output discard counts.
