read-only community can only query device information, while the read-write

1.1.3 MIBs Supported by the Device
The management variable in the SNMP packet is used to describe management
objects of a device. To uniquely identify the management objects of the device in SNMP
messages, SNMP adopts the hierarchical naming scheme to identify the managed
objects. It is like a tree, and each tree node represents a managed object, as shown in
Figure 1-1. Thus the object can be identified with the unique path starting from the root.

Figure 1-1 Architecture of the MIB tree
The management information base (MIB) is used to describe the hierarchical
architecture of the tree and it is the set defined by the standard variables of the
monitored network device. In the above figure, the managed object B can be uniquely
specified by a string of numbers {1.2.1.1}. The number string is the Object Identifier of
the managed object.
The common MIBs supported by the system are listed in
Table 1-1.
