... snip ... Let me try and explanation: The MIB isn't the database itself, its the schema that describes the structure of the database. It describes the 'database' that is implemented 'in' the device that is populated 'by' the device (being managed) ... that will be queried by a management system. The MIB/schema can also be used by the management system so that _it_ knows the structure, types, and meaning of the information it can and will retrieve 'from' those managed devices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
