>From the project FAQ:
Where can I find more information about network management?
----------------------------------------------------------
There are a number of sites with network management information on
the World Wide Web. Some of the most useful are
http://www.simpleweb.org/
http://www.snmplink.org/
http://www.mibdepot.com/
The SNMP Usenet newsgroup is now mostly defunct, but although the
FAQ hasn't been updated for a while, it still contains a large
amount of useful information relating to SNMP, including books,
software, other sites, ===> how to get an enterprise number <===, etc, etc.
This is available from
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.protocols.snmp/

It would probably be worth investing in a proper book on SNMP MIBs.
The standard work is "Understanding SNMP MIBs" (Perkins & McGinnis)
although "SNMP MIB Handbook" (Larry Walsh) might be worth considering.
(Note that I haven't actually seen a copy of this yet)

You don't.
Your MIB file(s) should describe *your* MIB objects,
broken down in whatever way seems most sensible to you.
The SNMP agent would then implement a *collection* of MIB files,
including the standard MIB-2 MIBs, as well as your private ones.
Don't try to shoehorn everything into the one MIB.
> 3. Is there a free tool available to write MIB file or is it a manual process.
I'm not aware of anything, though I wouldn't rule it out.
A quick web search of "MIB editor" throws up a number of
possibilities. Have a look at some of these.
If you come across something sensible, please let us know
so that we can add it to the documentation.
Note that the main problem with writing a MIB file is in actually
designing the structure of the MIB. And that's something that
no MIB editor can really help you with.
A computer is a tool - not a substitute for thinking!
(Something that our students can have difficulty grasping at times....)
