Try going "Down Tree" till you reach the leaf object, then enter a
ifIndex.dlci value in the "MIB instance" field and then "Get Values". I
believe you should get the value for the PVC you have specified.

If you are storing the data, the default used by the snmpcollect daemon is
to store in the internal MS Access DB and I believe the schema used does
not support compound indices (e.g. 10.42). That is why you lose the dlci
information. You can use NV Admin--> ServerSetup to specify that the data
should be stored in both internal files and the SQL DB. The internal files
will preserve the dlci information. See \usr\ov\databases\snmpcollect\

Then you can produce reports and graphs of FECN and BECN stats per circuit
(and other stats) from this NV data using our product Kardinia Performance
Reporter, which is Tivoli certified at foundation level. Email me for more
info or download it from www.kardinia.com for a free 30 day trial. It will
do counts as well as rates (see below), and display the DLCIs.

The NV data collector shows counter values as rates by default. Unless you
are experiencing a lot of congestion on your network, the FECN and BECN
rates will be very low. You need them displayed as counter delta values,
not rates.
