6.1

MANAGING DEVICE MIBS

The MIB Navigator allows access to a command set from which you can
configure and manage the EMME. The MIB Navigator enables you to
manage objects in the EMME's Management Information Bases (MIBs).
MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device and
determining your EMME's configuration. The commands within the MIB
Navigator allow you to view and modify a device's objects.
The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory (Figure
6-1). Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group and
leaf object in the MIB is identified by a corresponding number, known as
an Object Identifier (OID). This allows the MIB Navigator to navigate
through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.

Often an ASCII name is assigned to a leaf object's OID, making it more
readable. To identify the value for the object "ip Forwarding" you would
use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name (/iso/org/dod/internet/
mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).
