Retrieving Information from a MIB
To retrieve information from a MIB, the following information is required:
 SNMP version
 SNMP community name—public or private
 The IP Address of the Dell Mobility Controller
 The OID of the MIB value you want to monitor
In addition, MIB files can be placed in the appropriate disk location to assist the user in locating desired
OID values for monitoring. If MIB files need to be acquired, contact the support site.
It is assumed that the workstation is connected to the Dell controller and that a MIB browser is available.
For most applications, the root of the MIB must be included in the OID—the OID begins with a decimal
point as shown below.
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.2.2.1.1.2.1
MIB Browsers
If using an application that is run through CLI (a cmd window), the command would resemble the
following:
snmpget -v 2c -c <community name> <controller IP address> <MIB OID>
Figure 2 shows an example of submitting a command to obtain information.

Figure 3 shows how information may be obtained through a graphical user interface (GUI). The user
interface and the available features vary by application.
