Group and row identifiers

To handle row-indexed dynamic OIDs, you can use these settings to specify the group and sequence number of an OID. Set the OID_G= parameter to specify an OID group and OID_G_R= to designate the row in the group.

For example, to read the second OID in the .1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3 group, specify OID_G=.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3; OID_G_R=2;

If a scan returns the following group of OIDs:

.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3.25
.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3.49
.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3.53

the interface reads from

.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3.49

If the subsequent scan returns:

.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3.19
.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3.44
.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3.54

the interface reads from

.1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.3.44

Note: Reading a row-indexed OID takes longer than reading an absolute OID. For best performance, you should specify fixed OIDs by using the OID= parameter, and use the OID_G= and OID_G_R= parameters for dynamic OIDs only.
