MIB II System Group MIB
The EtherLoop SNMP Agent supports the system group from the MIB II
standard MIB. MIB II is a standard MIB defined by RFC 1213. (For
additional information on MIB II refer to the RFC). The MIB II system group
defines seven objects that are used for system identification. The objects are
detailed in Table A-12.
