A MIB file is basically a mapping between an object name and an
OID. Simply adding names/OIDs to the MIB file does not tell the
agent how to respond to a query for a particular object. Responding
to a query for an object requires code to be added to the agent. It
can be a script that is configured via snmpd.conf or code that is
compiled into the agent (or a shared library which can be loaded via
snmpd.conf).
