I am trying to get deeper into SNMP in order to correctly use its function. I have a task to monitor Wireless Access Point (WAP) status. the APs are controlled by a controller that knows the status of the APs and it is where I use SNMP to pull the info. I found this OID that shows "0" if the AP is disconnected
# snmpget -v2c -c xxx 1.2.3.4 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.25053.1.2.2.1.1.2.1.1.3.6.240.62.144.17.39.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.25053.1.2.2.1.1.2.1.1.3.6.240.62.144.17.39.0 = INTEGER: 0
I use net-snmp. I installed all the MIB for this product. When I do snmptranslate, however, it only explained to a certain point in the OID
# snmptranslate -m ALL -Td SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.25053.1.2.2.1.1.2.1.1.3.6.240.62.144.17.39.0

The trailing 6.240.62.144.17.39.0 is not interpreted. I also found out that this trailing part is used in other OID to get other information about the AP, such as name, IP address, Serial number, ...etc
So my question is, where I can find out what each number means in this trailing string? Is it defined in the MIB? Is it related to SNMP "Table"? Thanks!

As the table uses MacAddress as index, the OID looks just like that.
