5.7 Use of MIB Files for Reading-out and Control of the Switches
Fundamentally status enquiries for manageable devices in the network such as switches,
routers or servers must mostly be effected using the SNMP functionality. For security reasons
or because of manufacturer-specific aspects so-called MIB files are frequently required for
