About the MIB
The set of objects that SNMP can access
is known as a Management Information Base (MIB). Ethernet monitoring
and management tools use standard SNMP to access configuration and
management objects included in the device’s MIB, providing
that:
objects that SNMP can access are defined and given unique names
manager and agent programs agree on the names and meanings of fetch and store operations
MIB Versions
The module uses the SNMP agent to support MIB II, which provides diagnostics information that is specified in the MIB files.
Standard MIB II: This first level of network management can be accessed via this interface. It lets the manager identify the devices that create the architecture and retrieve general information on the configuration and operation of the Ethernet TCP/IP interface.
