Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for monitoring a variable of concern across multiple dynamic instances of a MIB object. The collection mechanism is associated with an interface that receives the executable command. The executable command is in an encoded format identifying one or more objects the collection mechanism is responsible for. This avoids the need to send multiple executable commands to a network device in order to monitor and evaluate the values of multiple variables across multiple MIB object instances.
