General Information

A Management information base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects residing in a virtual information store. Collections of related managed objects are defined in specific MIB modules.

SNMP uses an extensible design, where the available information is defined by MIBs. The MIB hierarchy can be depicted as a tree with a nameless root. The tree entries are addressed through so called OID's (object identifiers).
