About MIBs

A MIB is a collection of managed objects organized into a tree-like hierarchy of nodes in
which the managed objects form the leaves. Within the tree, each node is identified by a
non-negative integer identifier that is unique among the node’s siblings. The address, or
object identifier, of any node within the tree is expressed as a series of dot-delimited node
identifiers that trace the path from the root of the tree to the node. For example, the
object identifier for the sysDescr object is 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.

For more information about MIBs and the structure of management information, see

Chapter 67, SNMP Introduction

.

About SNMP

A network management station (NMS) uses a protocol known as Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) to query or change the values of objects in the MIB of
managed devices.

A managed device uses SNMP to respond to queries from an NMS, and to send unsolicited
alerts (traps) to an NMS in response to events.

For more information about the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), see

Chapter 67, SNMP Introduction

.

Chapter 68, SNMP Commands

Note

This chapter does not indicate which MIB objects are not-accessible (and
therefore cannot be queried directly). Please consult the MIB files for that
information.
