Management Information Base Object Identifiers
A Management Information Base (MIB) is a database of Object Identifiers (OIDs) that can be
used to monitor device objects using SNMP. An MIB OID can point be a printer tray, cartridge or
hard disk, or to modem mode. Using an SNMP condition, PlanetPress Workflow can
communicate with a device located at a given IP address and request the status of the object
identified by a given MIB OID number. Object Identifiers are typically assigned and registered
by device manufacturers. They are based on a standard known as Abstract Syntax Notation
One (often referred to as the ASN.1 standard).
