Relationship between the NMS and the SNMP Agent
The MIB (Management Information Base) is a virtual information base for
network management. There are large volumes of information for the managed
network equipment. In order to uniquely identify a specific management unit in
the SNMP message, the tree-type hierarchy is used to by the MIB to describe
the management units in the network management equipment. The node in the
tree indicates a specific management unit. Take the following figure of MIB as
an example to name the objectives in the tree. To identify a specific
management unit system in the network equipment uniquely, a series of
numbers can be used. For instance, the number string {1.3.6.1.2.1.1} is the
object identifier of management unit, so the MIB is the set of object identifiers in
the network equipment.
