1.3.3 Management Information Base (MIB)

A number of statistics are collected as a part of the routing functionality of the various routing protocols. The MIB object provides methods and data structures with which this information can be gathered from the router managers and the routing protocols. The following methods enable these monitoring operations:

• RMIBEntryCreate

• RMIBEntryDelete

• RMIBEntrySet

• RMIBEntryGet

• RMIBEntryGetFirst

• RMIBEntryGetNext

• RMIBGetTrapInfo

• RMIBSetTrapInfo

Each of these methods takes the transport identifier and the routing protocol identifier for which the MIB operations are performed.
