Re: SNMP Protocol

Dear Anonymous,

In principle, the MIB files don't have to be installed anywhere. They are
only a specification. The describe which objects are available on the
agent, and which notifications the agent may send.

Some SNMP managers let the user "load" MIB files, in order to better
present the data fetched from the agents. But this is not mandatory.

Some SNMP agents let the user "load" MIB files, to alter structure of the
data which is published, but this is more unusual. Many SNMP agents in
industrial use have the MIB structure hard-coded into their program code.

I'm sure such an answer will lead to more questions, please go ahead. :-)

Regards,
Joel Hansell
