MIBs Overview
This chapter provides information about Management Information Base (MIBs) supported in Dell W-Instant
6.2.1.0-3.4 software release.
MIBs
A MIB is a virtual database that contains information used for network management. Each managed device
contains MIBs that define its properties. A separate MIB is provided for each defined property, such as the
group of physical ports assigned to a VLAN or the statistical data of packets transferred at a specific rate.
MIB objects, such as a MIB table or a specific object in a MIB table, are identified with Object identifiers
(OIDs). The OIDs are designated by text strings and integer sequences.
Figure 1 illustrates the high-level hierarchy of the Enterprise MIBs.
