Standard Data Type Definitions
This appendix contains definitions for data types that are standard in most
contexts across the information technology industry. These are the most
common data types for describing variable values defined in the 10892.mib,
dcs3rmt.mib and dcs3fru.mib files. Server Administrator-specific variable
values are defined in the last section of the section in which they are
introduced.
Common Data Types
Common data types include several types of strings, the object range, signed
and unsigned bit ranges, and the familiar Boolean (true or false) data type.
