SNMP Reference Guide

Tables
This reference guide contains two types of tables: tables that are used to organize and define variable values and tables
that define MIB objects. Readers must understand the difference between these two types of tables.
SNMP Tables
Most of the MIB objects defined in this reference guide are organized into SNMP tables. SNMP tables organize data
into two-dimensional structural arrays. In SNMP, objects that have a relationship to other objects are called columnar
objects. Columnar objects are objects used to form lists and tables. When a MIB group is divided into one or more
discrete tables, the word table has a technical meaning. An example is the section of this reference guide entitled
Universal Unique Identifier (UUID). The UUID object has a type and a value that uniquely identifies an object such as a
chassis. The table defines all of the variables that comprise the managed object UUID.
The following table is an example of an SNMP table. The table contains variables that must occur in a definite sequence.
In the example table the defined variables are UUID Chassis Index, UUID Index, UUID Type, and UUID Value.
These objects comprise the Server Administrator definitions for the UUID.
