Structure of Management Information

The structure of management information (SMI) defines the schema for a collection of
managed objects residing in a virtual store called the management information base
(MIB). The information in a MIB includes administrative and operational configuration
information, as well as counters of system events and activities.

The MIB is organized into a tree-like hierarchy in which nodes are each assigned an
identifier consisting of a non-negative integer and an optional brief textual description.

Each managed object is represented by a leaf node and is defined by its name, syntax,
access mode, status and description. It can also be specifically identified by its unique
position within the tree. This position is expressed as a series of dot-delimited sub-
identifiers that start at the root node and end in the sub-identifier at the particular object’s
leaf node. For example, in

the object named interfaces would be uniquely

identified by the string of individual sub-identifiers, 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.
