What is an information base for management?

Information bases for management are collections of various network objects that are operated using a simple network management protocol or SNMP. The exact structure of the objects contained in the management information base will depend on the configuration of a particular SNMP. However, further extensions may allow the addition of new objects outside the initial structure.

both the initial information base for management and any extension may be related to specific features in the network. Some MIB may be related to the definition of the domain name system, while other extensions may be associated with network objects such as the data interface interface. Product developers use a new product or preparation of an improved version of an existing product.

While the initial information base is usually defined as part of the SNMP, the extension is usually set as part of the basic information base for management. Among the techniques is the initial information base for management usually indicatedAcaded as Mib-1 while Mib-II would refer to the first extension. The numbering process not only helps to quickly identify the initial information base of management, but also helps to identify the home connection of the relevant network objects.

The basic purpose of creating and using the management information base is to enable the logical use of network objects to perform various commands. Using MIB as an environment in which specific objects are easier to find and use objects. The final result is the execution of commands that are transparent for users and without delay.

It is a relatively simple process of creating and registering new MIB extensions. Many leading suppliers regularly create an extension of management information that is unique to some of their signature products. Among some companies they have created isDinečné enlargement MIB, IBM, Cisco and Novell.
