The Address Translation Group
Implementation of the Address Translation group is mandatory for all systems.
However, this group is deprecated by MIB-II. That is, it is being included solely for
compatibility with MIB-I Nodes, and will most likely be excluded from MIB-III
Nodes. From MIB-II and onwards, each network protocol group contains its own
address translation tables.
The Address Translation group contains one table which is the union across all
interfaces of the translation tables for converting a NetworkAddress (for example,
an IP address) into a subnetwork-specific address. For lack of a better term, this
document refers to such a subnetwork-specific address as a `physical' address.
Examples of such translation tables are for: broadcast media where ARP is in use,
the translation table is equivalent to the ARP cache, or on an X.25 network where
non-algorithmic translation to X.121 addresses is required. The translation table
contains the NetworkAddress to X.121 address equivalences.
atIfIndex (1.3.6.1.2.1.3.1.1.1)
The interface on which this entry's equivalence is effective. The interface
identified by a particular value of this index is the same interface as identified by
the same value of ifIndex.
