MIB-design for beginners

[Ram Krishnaswamy]

Hello Dirk,

There is a good book by David Perkins written specifically on this subject.
The book name is "Understanding SNMP MIBS". Hope it helps.

Regards
Ram

Hi,
 
We have managed to create an agent for a very simple MIB which was a
trial in itself.
We now wish to create a proper mib for our product and want to make it
future proof i.e. we can expand the MIB to support future versions and
other products by our organisation. Are there general guidelines for
doing this or is it entirely on a per company basis?
 
Should we subdivide our OID in version-specific subtrees (like mib-ii),
product-specific subtrees or simply extend the MIB as the functionality
grows?
 
cheers
