What exact does MIB represent in SNMP? How is it different from OID?












6















In SNMP, we represent each entity of information using object and to identify each object uniquely, we use OID (Object Identifier).
Now there is another terminology - MIB. I know it stands for "Management Information Base". However, I am not able to understand the concept of the term MIB.



Below is the image which represents the pictorial representation of object hierarchy tree-



enter image description here



rttMonCtrlAdminTag, rttMonCtrlAdminRttType, rttMonCtrlAdminFrequency represents Objects and corresponding OIDs are



.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.1.1.3



.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.1.1.4



.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.1.1.6



In this pictorial representation what does MIB represent?

    MIB is the whole collection of OIDs - usually with specific reference to a hardware/OS platform. the MIB for a router is different to that of a firewall and differs between vendors but each MIB is a collection of OIDs

The MIB is the entire catalog of OIDs (for a particular device).



An OID is a specific reference to an individual item within the MIB.



An analogy: The MIB is like the phone book for my city. The OID is like my name in the phone book.

            Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

            Image
            6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w
