Reading MIB Files
This section describes how to interpret the basic components of a MIB file. To determine the OIDs, viewing
the file snmp.h may be necessary, which is described in “SNMP File” on page25. For additional information
about MIB files, see “MIBs” on page15.
MIB files describe a specific component of a network device. The files are numerical strings that are
converted to ASCII text by the compiler of the SNMP manager. A word processor or text editor can be used
to open the ASCII file. The contents of an example ArubaOS enterprise MIB file, aruba-cts.my, are described
below.
