Structure of this guide

All chapters in this guide contain details about the MIB objects that are in the Vitual ADX MIB. Each
object is presented with its object name and OID, the access type available for that object (for
example, read-write or read only), and a description. Objects are grouped according to their
function.

The chapter

“Traps and Objects to Enable Traps” on page 247

contains both the objects used to

enable a particular type of trap and the objects that are available for a trap type. For example,
objects to enable Layer 4 traps as well as the Layer 4 trap objects are in the chapter.

About SNMPv3 support on enterprise software releases

On devices running Enterprise software, SNMPv3 engine is supported in Foundry devices. However,
there are no MIB objects specific to SNMPv3. The SNMPv3 engine can accept V1, V2c and V3
packet formats.

Also, the SNMP agent does not check for type validity with the SNMP version. If the manager sends
an SNMP request with a varbind of an invalid type for that version of SNMP, the SNMP agent sends
a response with the error “noSuchName” for that varbind. For example, MIB objects of type
Counter64 cannot be retrieved using a v1 packet, as Counter64 is a v2c and v3 type.
