802.3ad link aggregation.
IEEE8021-Q-BRIDGE-MIB
Denes objects for managing Virtual Bridged Local Area
Networks.
IF-MIB.mib
Denes aributes related to physical NICs on the host
system.
IP-MIB.mib
Denes objects for managing implementations of the
Internet Protocol (IP) in an IP version-independent manner.

SNMPv2 Diagnostic Counters
The SNMPv2-MIB.mib le provides a number of counters to aid in debugging SNMP problems.
Table 9-3 lists some of these diagnostic counters.
