The IP MIB Group

A great deal of network managment relates to the IP subsystem. Some IP scalar objects are as follows:
 
ipForwarding
this node is acting as an IP gateway (router). Otherwise it is a host.
ipDefaultTTL
default TTL for datagrams
ipInReceives
total datagrams received from the underlying MAC layer.
ipForwDatagrams
number forwarded
ipInDiscards
number of datagrams discarded due to resource limitations
...plus many more

 
There are also several tables associated with the IP subsystem:
 
ipAddrTable
maintains information about each of the IP addresses on a node: netmask, broadcast, etc
ipRoutingTable
keeps track of routes associated with the node. Each route is an ipRouteEntry type.
IP Address translation table
(in MIB-II) contains entries for MAC-to-IP mapping address mapping for each interface.
