Interpreting the MIB Structure
A MIB presents the managed data in a logical tree hierarchy, using an IETF standard syntax called the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). Branches of this MIB tree are organized into individual
tables, which contain the managed data as leaf objects. Understanding these concepts is fundamental to
interpreting the management information provided by the MIB.

Object Identifiers
The MIB structure is logically represented by a tree hierarchy. The root of the tree is unnamed and splits
into three main branches: Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT),
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and joint ISO/CCITT.
These branches and those that fall below each category have short text strings and integers to identify
them. Text strings describe object names, while integers allow computer software to create compact,
encoded representations of the names.
Each MIB variable is assigned an object identifier. The object identifier is the sequence of numeric labels
on the nodes along a path from the root to the object. For example, the MIB variable tftpHost is indicated
by the number 1. The object identifier for tftpHost is
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.cisco.workgroup products.stack group.tftp group.tftpHost or
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.5.1. The last value is the number of the MIB variable tftpHost.
