Managing Device Mibs; Mib Navigator Command Set Overview - Cabletron Systems LANVIEWsecure User Manual

4.2 Managing Device MIBs

The MIB Navigator lets you manage objects in the NBR Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are
databases of objects used for managing the device and determining the device configuration. The commands
within the MIB Navigator allow you to view and modify an object of the device.
The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory. Figure 4-2 shows the MIB tree hierarchy.
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 an OID leaf object, making it more readable. To identify the value for the
object "ip Forwarding", use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name
(/iso/org/dod/internet/mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).
