I am attempting to collect data relating to port insertion on a Centillion 5000.
The ObjID of the data being collected is .1.3.6.1.4.1.4.5.1.6.7.1.1.1.5  
(s5TrPortTable.s5TrPortInsrtStatus).  When I look at this data via the MIB 
browser, I get data like MIB Instance: 2.14 and MIB value: notInserted.  When I 
look at the same data as it is collected via snmpcollect, I get data like MIB 
Instance: 6 and MIB value: 2.  This is the sort of data that gets dumped into 
the database.  I can deal with the difference in the MIB value since this is 
just an enumeration value.  However, valuable data is being lost on the report 
of the MIB instance since we are trying to track which ports on the device are 
actually being used.  As it is, the snmpcollected data is useless.

Is this a bug?  Is there someway to actually collect what I need?

TIA
