SNMP Networking In an SNMP agent, parameters are arranged in a tree. SNMP uses an Object Identifier (OID) to specify the exact parameter to set or get in the tree. An OID is a list of numbers separated by periods. An OID is a combination of two values. The first value is the OID of the generic object and the second is the instance value, which specifies the particular instance of the object.
