Network vendors ship their equipment with a default password of "public". With each SNMP Get-Request and allows (or denies) access to device. The SNMP Read-Only Community String is like a password. What is the 'Read-only Community String'? The remaining numbers are generated by and under the control of the registered enterprise. The 7th number is the Enterprise number, assigned to the organization by the IANA as defined here: You may notice that most OIDs start with 1.3.1.6.1.x. If the 6th number is 4, the OID is generated by a private enterprise. Often see OIDs written without it, Intermapper requires that it be present In the example above is technically part of the OID. When a device receives a SNMP Get-Request for this ifNumber OID, it responds Intermapper can query a device for the MIB variables and display the results. That indicates the number of interfaces (ports) in a router. Has a name in the form of numbers separated by periods ("."),įor example, the MIB-II (pronounced, "MIB two") has a variable MIB variable is named by an Object Identifier (OID), which usually These variables are defined in the MIB for a device.

The various values that can be retrieved from a MIB are called MIB MIB Variables and OIDs (Object Identifiers) Many different aspects of a computer's operation. (a MIB in SNMP parlance.) There are a many different MIBs, describing Is kept in a database described by a Management Information Base
