SNMP_OID(3)							   SNMP_OID(3)

NAME
       snmp_oid - Format of specifying variable names to SNMP tools.

SYNOPSIS
       system.sysdescr.0

DESCRIPTION
       Variable	 names are in the format of Object Identifiers (ASN.1).	 There
       are several methods of representation. Each variable name is  given  in
       the  format  of	A.B.C.D..., where A, B, C, and D are subidentifiers in
       one of two forms of notation.  Each subidentifier may be encoded	 as  a
       decimal	integer, or a symbol as found in the RFC1066 MIB.  The case of
       the symbols is not significant.
       If there is no leading "." in the  variable  name,  the	name  will  be
       formed	as   if	  having   been	  preceded   with  "iso.org.dod.inter‐
       net.mgmt.mib.".	A "." must be placed before the first variable if  the
       user is to fully specify the name.  For example:

       1.1.0 system.sysDescr.0 and 1.sysDescr.0

       all refer to the same variable name.  Likewise:

       .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0     .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.system.sysdescr.0
       .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.sysdescr.0

       All refer to the same variable name.

       The description of the variables in the MIB is given in	a  file	 named
       mib.txt	in the current directory or in a file named in the environment
       variable MIBFILE or in /etc/mib.txt .  These files are searched in  the
       above  order.   The  files are in the ASN.1 notation and use the OBJECT
       TYPE macro defined in RFC 1065.	Most of the file  describing  the  RFC
       1066 MIB is pulled out of RFC 1066 without change.

BUGS
       The mibfile parser is not expected to handle bizarre (although correct)
       interpretations of the ASN.1 notation.
