Chapter 11: MIB Navigator Screen
11.1 MANAGING DEVICE MIBS
The MIB Navigator lets you manage objects in the MicroMMAC
Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases of objects
used for managing the device and determining the MicroMMAC
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 11-2 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 the OID of a leaf object, 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).
