1.7 NAVIGATING THROUGH THE MIBTREE STRUCTURE
The MIB structure is a hierarchical tree structure. Each MIB
variable has a numeric value that indicates its place in the
hierarchy. The structure was originally created, and is still
maintained by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), two
international standards organizations. You can get and set MIB
variables by navigating down the tree to a specific MIB, a group or
table within that MIB, and then to the individual variable.
Figure 1-1 shows the path down the MIB tree structure. Under the
“mib-2” and the Cabletron enterprise branch, are all the relevant
MIBs that the ELS10-26 supports.
