MIB Navigator Command Set OverviewLocal Management User’s Guide3-3The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory. Figure 3-2 shows the MIB treehierarchy. Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group and leaf object in theMIB is identified by a corresponding number, known as an Object Identifier (OID). This allows theMIB Navigator to navigate through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.Figure 3-2 Hierarchical MIB Tree StructureOften an ASCII name is assigned to the OID of a leaf object, making it more readable. To identifythe value for the object “ipForwarding” you use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name(/iso/org/dod/internet/mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).MIB Navigator Command Set OverviewThe MIB Navigator command set provides the following commands:Navigation Commands — Navigation commands allow you to access and manage the MIB forthe device running the MIB Navigator.
