(MIB) A database of managed objects acessed by networkmanagement protocols. An SNMP MIB is a set of parameters
which an SNMP management station can query or set in the
SNMP agent of a network device (e.g. router).
SNMP has two standard MIBs. The first, MIB I, was
established in RFC 1156, was defined to manage
TCP/IP-based internets. MIB II, defined in RFC 1213, is
basically an update to MIB I.
Standard minimal MIBs have been defined, and many hardware
(and certain software, e.g. DBMS) providers have developed
private MIBs in ASN.1 format allowing them to be compiled
for use in a Nework Management System. In theory, any SNMPmanager can talk to any SNMP agent with a properly defined
MIB.
