Reading MIB Files
This section describes how to interpret the basic components of a MIB file. To determine the OIDs, viewing the
file snmp.h may be necessary, which is described in “SNMP File” on page17. For additional information about
MIB files, see “MIBs” on page9. For a listing of SNMP MIB OIDs, see Chapter 4, “SNMP MIBs Reference” on
page 35.
MIB files describe a specific component of a network device. The files are numerical strings that are converted to
ASCII text by the compiler of the SNMP manager. A word processor or text editor can be used to open the ASCII
file. The contents of an example Instant enterprise MIB file, aruba-cts.my, are described below.
