I'm not aware of any MIB that defines such an object. Some material from the last IETF seem to indicate that this is being considered (possibly as part of the Entity MIB). But it doesn't seem to be part of any standard MIB at the moment. One problem is what do you mean by the "system UUID"? > 2. Can I use the same OID for every system to get the UUIID details ? Once such a MIB object has been defined (and implemented), then yes - you would use the same OID to get the UUID information from every system. That's part of the point of SNMP being a standard. > 3. RFC 4122 does mentions about the UUID. RFC 4122 doesn't appear to be related to SNMP at all. It certainly doesn't define a MIB. It doesn't really talk about OIDs at all (except in passing) > It includes that > iso.3.6.1.1.16.1 will give the value of the UUID :- > Link :- http://rfc-ref.org/RFC-TEXTS/4530/chapter2.html That's actually part of RFC 4530 - which covers how UUIDs might be handled within LDAP. .1.3.6.1.1.16.[1-4] are part of the 'directory' tree (1.3.6.1.1) which is used by X.500-style directory services. Just because it's an OID, that doesn't mean that it necessarily has anything to do with SNMP. The OID tree is used more widely than just network management. SNMP OIDs are all found under .1.3.6.1.{2,4,6} Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
