(Management Information Base) stems from the OSI/ISO Network management model and is a type of database used to manage the devices in a communications network. It comprises a collection of objects in a (virtual) database used to manage entities (such as routers and switches) in a network.
(Abstract Syntax Notation One) called "Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)"
. The software that performs the parsing is a MIB compiler.
The database is hierarchical (tree-structured) and entries are addressed through object identifiers. Internet documentation RFCs discuss MIBs, notably
, "Structure and Identification of Management Information for TCP/IP based internets", and its two companions,
, "Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets", and
, "A Simple Network Management Protocol".
