Output from on SNMP Walk:

iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1041 = INTEGER: 387632
iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1042 = INTEGER: 3411416
Putting it together:
The Management Config Partition used index number 1040. Here is how we interpret the output:| SNMP Walk Output | Description |
| iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.1040 = STRING: "Slot-1 Management Config Partition" | The name of the partition is "Management Config Partition" |
| iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4.1040 = INTEGER: 1024 | The allocation is 1024. A unit of 1024 is a KiloByte (KB) |
| iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.1040 = INTEGER: 16644968 | There is 16644968KB of space in this partition, or 16.64GB |
| iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1040 = INTEGER: 2441732 | There is 2441732KB of used space in this partition, or 2.44GB |
