Managing Device MIBs

The MIB Navigator lets you manage objects in the HSIM-W6 Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device and determining the HSIM-W6 configuration. The commands within the MIB Navigator allow you to view and modify a device’s objects.

The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory. Figure 71 shows the MIB tree hierarchy. Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group and leaf object in the MIB is identified by a corresponding number, known as an Object Identifier (OID). This allows the MIB Navigator to navigate through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.
