SNMP: How Does The Agent Do Its Job?
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2 (.1.3.6.1.2.1)
- MIB-II, which is a standard (RFC 1213-MIB) has grouped many common objects found on a host that need managed.
Notes:
C. mib-2
i. .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2 is .1.3.6.1.2.1
a) MIB-II, which is a standard (RFC 1213-MIB), has grouped many common objects found on a host that need managed.
b) “mgmt” is equivalent to .1.3.6.1.2. Therefore, mib-2 is equivalent to 1.3.6.1.2.1. Likewise, the interfaces group under mib-2 is defined as { mib-2 2 }, or 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.
c) Basic system information like uptime and hostname are under the mib-2.system branch.
d) rmon -- Remote Monitor is an aspect of SNMP that I still need to learn.
