Standard MIB Support

The Annex supports the following standard MIBs:
• MIB-II (defined in RFC1213).
• Character MIBs (defined in RFCs 1316, (Character MIB), 1317
(RS232-like MIB), and 1318 (Parallel Printer MIB).
• Ethernet MIB (defined in RFC 1398).
• RIPv2 MIB (defined in RFC 1389).
• AppleTalk MIB (defined in RFC 1243).
Some standard MIB objects are not valid or meaningful for the
Annex. For detailed information, see Annex Restrictions on Standard
MIBs on page A-51.
Most Annex parameters do not map to standard MIB objects. Instead,
they map to MIB objects in a proprietary (or private enterprise) MIB
specific to the Annex. The private MIB also contains objects that provide
status and statistics information to the network manager (see Annex
Parameters vs. Annex Private Enterprise MIB on page A-58).
This section explains the relationship between the Annex and standard
MIBs, listing the exceptions and restrictions placed on standard MIBs by
the Annex SNMP agent. This section includes:
• MIB Object Hierarchy
• Describing and Naming Objects
• Annex Restrictions on Standard MIBs
