including device configuration, status, and statistical information. This information isviewed as a
logical database, called a Management Information Base (MIB). MIB modules describe MIB variables
for a variety of device types and computer hardware and software components.
Avariety of resources about SNMPare available, including reference books, overviews, and other files
on the Internet. For an overview of the SNMPinterface and the componentsof MIB-II, go to
http://www.rfc-editor.org/search/rfc_search.php, and search for MIB-II. From the results, locate the
text file describing the SNMPinterface, titled Management Information Base for Network Management
of TCP/IP-based Internets: MIB-II. You can also display the text of theDigi enterprise MIBs. The
product page for each product on the Digi website providesa link to the Digi-provided MIBsfor that
product. See Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for a list of supported MIBs.
For more information about using SNMPas a device monitoring interface, see SNMPdevice
