Abstract
The Management Information Base (MIB) plays a key role in a network management system (figure 1) simply because: first, network management applications need structured information about the managed network; second, the network itself usually does not provide a simple and structured interface for information services. Currently, when network management applications are developed, they are designed to work with either Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) [6, 5] or Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) [2], But, since a management information base (MIB) is only a repository of information about various network devices, the design of a MIB should not be constrained by the question, “what is the query access protocol.” Instead, our major concerns in building a MIB should be the data model and the structure it imposes on network information. These concerns can be addressed in a manner which is protocol independent.
