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. - Original Messa

The Management Information Base (MIB) will be hard coded into the program running on the network device (The SNMP agent). This SNMP agent can use any technique it likes to store its information (for example, my snmp agent stores all its information in mysql). A file describing the MIB (generall

I have them on the network manager so that I can refer to OIDs by name instead of just the numbers. And I used them on the network device when I compiled an SNMP subagent using “MIB for DUMMIES”. But in truth you don’t need a MIB file anywhere, you can just refer to objects by their numeric ID.

Dear Anonymous, In principle, the MIB files don't have to be installed anywhere. They are only a specification. The describe which objects are available on the agent, and which notifications the agent may send. Some SNMP managers let the user "load" MIB files, in order to better present the data
