MIB Navigator

CSX400 and CSX400-DC User’s Guide 179

The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory. Figure 76 shows the MIB tree

hierarchy. Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group and leaf object in the

MIB is identiﬁed by a corresponding number, known as an Object Identiﬁer (OID). This allows the

MIB Navigator to navigate through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.

Figure 76 Hierarchical MIB Tree Structure

Often an ASCII name is assigned to the OID of a leaf object, making it more readable. To identify

the value for the object “ipForwarding” you use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name (/

iso/org/dod/internet/mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).
