INTERFACES attributes

Use the INTERFACES attribute group to monitor the number of network interfaces present on the monitored system. The Management Information Base (MIB-II) detailed in RFC1213, for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets, establishes and defines the attributes of this group.

The INTERFACES attributes are available for the SNMP Data Provider.
