SNMP Management Information Base (MIB)
The Management Information Base (MIB) is a type of database in ASCII text format that is used to manage
the NAS in the SNMP network. The SNMP manager uses the MIB to determine the NAS status or understand
the messages that the NAS sends within the network. You can download the MIB and then view the contents
using any word processor or text editor.
