There are standards, how to define OIDs in MIBs. Every manufacturer who builds a device can define his own OIDs and put them in a so called MIB for that device. There is also a standard-MIB (called MIB2), which defines common stuff. Take a look here: http://www.et.put.poznan.pl/snmp/mib2/mib2.html What you need to do, in order to determine, what information you can get from your SNMP-capable device (your SAN), is to use some sort of MIB-browser (either graphical or console-based), feed it with the MIB of the device you want to monitor, and browse the OID-tree. The MIB translates those weird rows of dots and numbers into something human-readable. (OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 could be an interface description, for example.) Here is a page with a couple of snmp-tools: ;-) http://www.snmplink.org/snmpsoftware/forenduser/#6 This MIB-Browser is free and multiplatform (Java): http://www.dwipal.com/mibbrowser.htm Read the docs to learn how to load the MIB of your Equallogic-Device into the program.
