Ok, its specification or schema that describes which objects are available on
the agent.
So where installed or hard-coded this schema: in manageable network device
itself oron network management station?
I don't see the necessity to have MIB installed on management station.

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.
