MIB Navigator
CSX400 and CSX400-DC User’s Guide 179
The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory. Figure 76 shows the MIB tree
hierarchy. Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group and leaf object in the
MIB is identified by a corresponding number, known as an Object Identifier (OID). This allows the
MIB Navigator to navigate through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.
Figure 76 Hierarchical MIB Tree Structure
Often an ASCII name is assigned to the OID of a leaf object, making it more readable. To identify
the value for the object “ipForwarding” you use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name (/
iso/org/dod/internet/mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).
