This is about private MIB registration, taken from a book: ------------------------------------------------ The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) currently manages all the private enterprise number assignments for individuals, institutions, organizations, companies, etc.[10] A list of all the current private enterprise numbers can be obtained fromftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/enterprise-numbers. As an example, Cisco Systems's private enterprise number is 9, so the base OID for its private object space is defined as iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco, or 1.3.6.1.4.1.9. Cisco is free to do as it wishes with this private branch. It's typical for companies such as Cisco that manufacture networking equipment to define their own private enterprise objects. This allows for a richer set of management information than can be gathered from the standard set of managed objects defined under the mgmt branch. [10]The term "private enterprise" will be used throughout this book to refer to the enterprises branch. Companies aren't the only ones who can register their own private enterprise numbers. Anyone can do so, and it's free. The web-based form for registering private enterprise numbers can be found at http://www.isi.edu/cgi-bin/iana/enterprise.pl. After you fill in the form, which asks for information such as your organization's name and contact information, your request should be approved in about a week. Why would you want to register your own number? When you become more conversant in SNMP, you'll find things you want to monitor that aren't covered by any MIB, public or private. With your own enterprise number, you can create your own private MIB that allows you to monitor exactly what you want. You'll need to be somewhat clever in extending your agents so that they can look up the information you want, but it's very doable.------------------------------------------------ Cheers jmf > > Thanks in advance, > Treesa > -- > Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org) > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
