MIB – Management Information Base
What is a MIB?
An MIB (

ase) is a standardized data structure
consisting of different SNMP variables, which are described by a language that is
independent of the target system.
The following screen shows the read out MIB file from the
SCLANACE W788-2RR that was read out through a “MIB browser”.
The view can vary depending on the MIB browser used.
Figure 3-1
To read out the “Clients list” from the access point, the
“
snScalanceWDevicesMAC
”
MIB variable is used. The “OID number” of this MIB
variable is called: “
1.3.6.1.4.1.4196.1.1.4.100.2.6.5.1.3.x
”.
The “x” stands for the index for the “place” at which the MAC address is listed in
the “Clients list”.
In this application the first 10 places of the “Clients list” are read out.
