Chapter 1 MIBs Overview This chapter provides an overview of the Dell Enterprise MIBs in the following sections:  "MIBs" on page 13  "SNMP" on page 14 MIBs A Management Information Base (MIB) is a virtual database that contains information that is used for network management. Each managed device contains MIBs that define the properties of that device. A separate MIB is provided for each defined property, such as the group of physical ports that are assigned to a VLAN or the statistical data of packets that are transferred at a specific rate. MIB objects, such as a MIB table or a specific element of data in a MIB table, are identified with Object Identifiers (OIDs). The OIDs are designated by text strings and integer sequences. The hardware MIBs are assigned under the Dell organization code, while all others are under the Aruba organization code. For example, Dell and 1.3.6.1.4.1.674 both represent the private enterprise node Aruba, as shown in Figure 1 on page 14. Dell is the parent of most of the proprietary MIBs that are supported on Dell PowerConnect W-Series Mobility Controllers. The numerical string lists the nodes of the enterprise MIB hierarchy, as shown in Table 3.
