MIBs and Object Identifiers

A MIB can be depicted as an abstract tree with an unnamed root. Individual data
items make up the leaves of the tree. Object identifiers (IDs) uniquely identify or
name MIB objects in the tree. Object IDs are like telephone numbers

erarchically with specific digits assigned by different organizations.

The object ID structure of an SNMP MIB defines three main branches: Consultative
Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT), International
Organization for Standardization (ISO), and joint ISO/CCITT. Much of the current
MIB activity occurs in the portion of the ISO branch defined by object identifier
