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 expressing 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.
