MIB Files
A Management Information Base (MIB) is a map of the hierarchical order of all of the managed objects or MIB variables. Each system in a network (workstation, server, router, bridge, and so on) maintains a MIB that reflects the status of the managed resources at that system.
A MIB file is a database of OID values that can be viewed through SNMP. OIDs are arranged in a tree-like structure that begins with a root and expands downwards into branches. Each point in a MIB tree is known as a node.
Note: a MIB file is that it's a kind of dictionary or code book that is used to assemble and interpret SNMP messages.
The value of each OID consists of a sequence of integers. The dotted numeric string representation of an OID separates its subidentifiers with periods; for example, 1.2.3.4.5.6. A MIB variable is referenced by its OID, as well as by its instance identifier, such as INTEGER, STRING, COUNTER, and GAUGE.
