Using this OID with SNMP

At least one MIB declaration places this object in a table row. A value belongs to a row instance; its suffix depends on the row's INDEX or AUGMENTS definition.

In RMON-MIB, the row index consists of these components in order:

hostIndex (INTEGER): one numeric subidentifier for the non-negative value.
hostAddress (OCTET STRING): the number of octets followed by one numeric subidentifier for each octet.

An instance has the form .1.3.6.1.2.1.16.4.2.1.1.<hostIndex>.<hostAddress: length and octets>. Use values present on the device and permitted by its MIB. Other definitions can differ.

Published row index: hostIndex, hostAddress.

snmpwalk [connection options] DEVICE .1.3.6.1.2.1.16.4.2.1.1

Replace the placeholders with your connection and authentication options. Available permissions and device support can differ from the MIB.

Properties come from available MIB definitions. Actual device support and access can differ. See source records below for original files and qualifications.

A definition in a model's MIB package does not establish that the device implements it or permits access.

The NETGEAR catalogue lists MIB files containing this definition with these product and release labels:

GC728X: 1.0.5.25, 1.0.5.39
GC728XP: 1.0.5.25, 1.0.5.39
GC752X: 1.0.5.25, 1.0.5.39

MS510TX: 6.7.0.52
MS510TXPP: 6.7.0.52

These are catalogue release labels, not necessarily MIB revisions. A MIB definition does not establish that a device implements it or permits access.

The Zyxel catalogue lists MIB packages containing this definition for these models:

RGS200-12P.
