Questions tagged [mib]

A MIB is an acronym for Management Information Base in use with the SNMP Protocol.

A MIB is the schema for an entity, such as a corporation, that wishes to exchange SNMP packets with another entity. They use the MIB, or Management Information Base, which is the schema that allows the computers to communicate and establish understanding, such as data types, permissions and other values.

MIBs are written in Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1).
MIBs are written in plain text.

Programs such a smilint can test MIB syntax for correctness and conformity to SNMP standards such as SMIv1 and SMIv2, which are subsets of ASN.1
