High-Level MIB Hierarchy
MIB is one of the elements of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is used to manage network
devices. To deliver information between devices, every object referred to in an SNMP message must be listed in
the MIB. If a component of a device is not described in a MIB, that component cannot be recognized by SNMP—
there is no information for SNMP managers and SNMP agents to exchange.
The information provided by a MIB is a file that describes network elements with numerical strings. This
information is compiled into readable text by the SNMP manager. For information about reading MIB text files,
