What is SNMP, MIBs, and OIDs?

SNMP is one of the most commonly used technologies when it comes to network monitoring. SNMP protocol uses SNMP GET and RESPONSE to retrieve information for network devices

2. MIB stands for Management Information Base and is a collection of definitions that define the properties of the managed object within the device to be managed. MIB files are written in an independent format and the object information they contain is organized hierarchically. The various pieces of information can beaccessed by SNMP.
3. OIDs or object identifiers uniquely identify managed objects in the MIB. For example, the typical objects to monitor on a printer are the different cartridge states and maybe the number of printedfiles. On a switch, the typical objects of interest are the incoming and outgo ingtraffic, as well as the rate of package loss, or the number of packets addressed to a broadcast address. Every single object has its own object ID.Generally, an OID is a long sequence of numbers that code the nodes, and are separated by dots.
