where:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.11 is the OID (of swFCPortTxWords) and 5 is the instance
ID for port 4.
You must add 1 to the port number to get its instance number in SNMP because SNMP numbering
starts at 1; switch port numbering starts at 0.
Loading Brocade MIBs
The Brocade MIB is a set of variables that are private extensions to the Internet standard MIB-II.
The Brocade agents support many other Internet-standard MIBs. These standard MIBs are defined
in RFC publications. To find specific MIB information, examine the Brocade proprietary MIB
structure and the standard RFC MIBs supported by Brocade.
